An unemployed Filipina was sentenced to seven months and two weeks in jail after she pleaded guilty to laundering $380,138 of crime money by letting it pass through her bank account.
Flordeliza Atun, 51 years old, had earlier pleaded not
guilty and her trial was supposed to start today before Magistrate Tobias Cheng.
However, Atun admitted her role in the handling of the money
just before the trial began.
