According to the Guardian, the Italy legend breached court orders and now faces almost a year behind bars.
The former Real Madrid and Juventus star defender, was ordered to keep out of a property after authorities seized it.
The order was handed down by an Italian court last month and Cannavaro along with his brother Paolo of Sassuolo and wife Daniela Arenoso were given custodial sentences.
