A 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal found that Kwaku Boateng (called 1980) was convicted on 16 February 2010 at Southwark Crown Court, on his own admission, of 5 counts of providing immigration advice when not qualified to do so contrary to s91 Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, for which he received a 6-month suspended sentence (suspended 24 months) and was ordered to pay £1,050 compensation. He also failed to report the conviction promptly to the BSB. The tribunal disbarred him and ordered costs of £675.75. The charge was framed as conduct "dishonest or otherwise discreditable," but no express finding of dishonesty was recorded.
