SINGAPORE: Lawyer plus politician Lim Tean has been given two more charges to get refusing to solution a police officer and committing criminal infringement of trust being an attorney.
Lim, 57, had been on Friday (Sep 23) given one particular new charge associated with dishonestly misappropriating a sum of S$5, 500 paid by AXA Insurance, therefore doing criminal breach of trust during their business as an lawyer.
According to charge sheets, the money was a settlement sum owned by a woman, that he apparently pocketed around April 3, 2020.
Lim was handed a second fresh cost of refusing in order to answer a public servant authorised in order to question. He allegedly refused to answer questions on Jun 10, 2022, at the Commercial Affairs Department about the facts plus circumstances of a situation involving US$50, 1000 a person had paid to him in October 2017.
This brings the entire number of charges Lim faces to 7. He was previously billed with criminal infringement of trust for misappropriating S$30, 000 which was entrusted to him in late 2019, that was a sum granted to a former client as a settlement in a civil suit.
Lim also deals with three charges to be an unauthorised individual who acted as an supporter or solicitor.
He is also suspected of preparing files and instruments concerning court proceedings upon 33 occasions, acting as an advocate or solicitor when this individual did not have a legitimate practising certificate.
Lim also deals with an unlawful stalking charge for apparently harassing an ex-employee of his lawyer.
He is started return to court for the pre-trial conference within October.
