U.S. District Judge Edward Rafeedie sentenced Ruben Reinis, 41, a Colombian living in South Gate, to seven years in prison on charges of conspiring to conceal the true source of the money he laundered in more than 500 Los Angeles-area banks. Greenberg said that Reinis and six others conspired to launder more than $9 million during the last year. The other defendants in the case received sentences ranging from six months to two years.
