It was deemed to contravene Uefa rules on “the integrity of matches and competitions”.
AC Milan were also fined €25,000 for “its player having a financial interest in a betting company”.
Last month, Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet claimed that Ibrahimovic had invested in a Malta-based betting website Bethard.
