Use of the word 'unlikey'

Hey - I have a question which I'm hoping someone might be able to answer. Is it grammatically correct to say: 'The man is unlikely involved in criminal activities' or should I say 'The man is unlikely to have been involved in criminal activities'? I'd appreciate your help - I'm trying to settle a disagreement with my supervisor! Thanks!
