Two Sentenced for Money Laundering: U.S. District Judge Robert M. Takasugi sentenced Jose O. Lopez, a former supervisory officer of Security Pacific National Bank’s central cash vault, to 46 months in prison for conspiring to launder $364,000 that he believed was proceeds of narcotics trafficking. In fact, the funds had come from an Internal Revenue Service undercover agent posing as a money man for drug traffickers. Lopez, 27, of Whittier, pleaded guilty to money-laundering charges in February. Takasugi sentenced Geno Apicella, 27, of Los Angeles, to 37 months in prison for the same offense.
