The former Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom associate who was jailed last year for lying during a probe into the 2016 presidential election has had his license to practice law taken away by the U.K.'s Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) and was ordered to pay costs of $3,878.
A spokesperson for the U.K. legal industry regulator said that the decision came as part of an agreed outcome between the ex-associate, Alexander van der Zwaan, and the Solicitors SDT on June 13.
An SDT document published Thursday said: “The respondent accepts full responsibility, admits that he is solely responsible for his conduct, and is remorseful and has demonstrated a high degree of insight.”
