Marinakis was furious about decisions that he felt went against his team in a 1-0 loss to Fulham in September.
In publishing its written reasons behind the decision, an independent commission stated they had to set an example.
Per the investigation, Marinakis "deliberately spat in a disrespectful and disgusting display of contempt towards the match officials.”
Marinakis argued a ban from the tunnel and dressing room was sufficient, but he has to stay away from games.
