A B.C. woman has been sentenced to 18 months in jail following a years-long investigation into a group accused of loan sharking and money laundering.

The case represents a “major milestone in its ongoing efforts to combat organized crime and financial criminality,” the RCMP’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC) said in a Nov. 24 news release. The specialized unit targets organized crime and gang activity.
