Almost two years after the Football Association began its investigation into the Brazil international, Paqueta was cleared of getting booked deliberately to affect a betting market.
The 27-year-old had been facing a lifetime ban.
At the time the FA began its investigation, Paqueta had been heavily linked with a move to Manchester City.
