A retired Mountie faces 20 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines after pleading guilty on Wednesday to 10 money-laundering charges in the United States. Long fabled as the unicorn of the sea, the narwhal lives mostly in Russian and Canadian Arctic Ocean waters, feeding on fish, and being hunted by Inuit. In the American case, he pegged the market value between $1.5 million and $3 million. In the U.S., he faces a possible 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine per count of conviction. The terms of his extradition limited the American case to the money laundering.
