giudices

 

Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Joe Giudice and his wife Teresa is back in the hot seat. 

 

On Monday, two additional indictments came down on the couple – one count of bank fraud and another for loan application fraud.  These two new set of charges comes after they were found guilty of 39-counts back in July of this year.

The indictments announced in July accused them of bank fraud, conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bankruptcy fraud, and making false statements on a loan.  The Giudice’s new set of charges reveals that a lot more tricky were going on.

 

It is reported that Teresa lied about working as a real estate agent making $15,000 a month. The couple used this method to falsely prepare a mortgage loan application.  Joe Giudice failed to prepare tax returns from 2004 to 2008.  Authorities believes the couple lied about their net worth before appearing as cast members on the hit Bravo reality show, then turned around and made false claims about their finances in a bankruptcy filing.

 

In total, prosecutors says the couple banked up to $4.6 million by extracting money from home equity lines of credit, mortgages, and construction loans.

 

The Giudices will be arraigned next Wednesday on the new charges.
