KNOXVILLE – A Texas woman who authorities say was part of an identity theft ring that stole more than $1 million will spend five years in prison for wire fraud.
Renata R. Galvan also was ordered Monday to pay about $1 million in restitution to Telecheck, identified by federal authorities as a victim.
U.S. District Judge Pam Reeves imposed sentence. Galvan, of Mission, Texas., also faces three years of supervised release when she gets out of prison.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Galvan, her husband and her sister took part in the scheme.
