OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a Gresham woman has been given three years of probation for her role in an income tax refund scheme.

Court records say 36-year-old Kathy Hansen was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Omaha. She also must make restitution of nearly $11,600.

She’d pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony. Authorities say Hansen knew a crime was being committed and failed to notify law enforcement.

Officials say that in 2014, Hansen opened a bank account with nearly $12,000 in illegally obtained tax refunds. Investigators say the refund fraud scheme was operated by people believed to be outside the U.S. The deposited funds were sent by Hansen to people in Nigeria.
