The Law Society launched an inquiry into Rasif last year on grounds of suspected dishonesty.

The 17 counts of alleged misconduct include the unauthorised withdrawal of money from his law firm's client account and for failing to keep proper records of money transfers into and out of that account.

Rasif is currently being sued, along with six others, by an American couple for allegedly making off with S$10 million.

The couple had entrusted the money to Rasif for a property deal, but he fled with the money. - CNA/ir
