Violent conduct in serie A is mostly punished with 2-4 matches suspensions, depending on the severity of the incident.
One match ban is an exception. It's the Serie A disciplinary committee which decides about these things. I saw the Gimenez incident and I am not sure how did that deserve only 1 match suspension. It wasn't different from what Yildiz and Kalulu did and that kind of foul is pretty much always a 2 match suspension. Milan were favored here.
I'd have said that it has something to do with the season finishing in the next round, but a Bologna player who got a red card yesterday got a 2 match suspension for violent conduct, and that foul wasn't worse than Gimenez's.
