(Sioux City)– A northwest Iowa woman has been sentenced in federal court on a money laundering charge. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 23-year-old Yesenia Ledesma-Ledezma of Albert City was sentenced Tuesday to 30 days imprisonment after pleading guilty in August of last year. She also agreed to forfeit property acquired with proceeds from an illegal business she had been operating.
