Pabs Sembillo, co-owner of Asiatique Restaurant, is being sued for embezzlement by the Louisville Originals, a coalition of local independent restaurateurs.
Sembillo served several years as treasurer for the group before he was relieved of his duties in 2012 after an audit discovered numerous financial improprieties.
According to the group’s lawyer, Artie McLaughlin, Sembillo embezzled an estimated $42,000 from the group from 2009 to 2012 through multiple checks written against the group’s account and ATM and teller withdrawals.
