A former border patrol agent who was charged with money laundering was sentenced to two years in prison. 

Raimundo Borjas pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering last year and forfeited $28,100 in drug money. He was suspended from U.S. Customs and Border Protection in 2013 after depositing more than $60,000 in cash to a credit union in Douglas, Ariz.

He broke up the money into deposits under $10,000 to avoid reporting requirements. Investigators said he was working with a drug trafficker.

According to the Center for Investigative Reporting, in the past decade six other customs and border protection employees were convicted of money laundering.
