The lawyer is also suspected of issuing unlawful threats and drunkenness behind the wheel. According to the report, Lampela fled the island on a boat after the alleged incident.
According to the report, the suspicions are related to a dispute between Lampela and his female friend at Lampela’s villa on an island near Espoo on Friday.
The police are investigating the incident.
Lampela did divulge the details about the dispute to the tabloid but denied the assault allegation.
News agency STT did not reach the police lead investigator to comment on the offences.
If a practice lawyer is convicted of a crime, the bar association may impose penalties. The mildest penalty may be a notification whereas the most severe could be expulsion from the union.
The penalties are decided by the union’s independent supervisory board.
