THE RECORD
Teresa and Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice, who flaunted their lavish-spending over five seasons on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy, mortgage and bankruptcy fraud charges that could send them both to prison.
The Montville couple, two of the stars of the hit Bravo reality TV show, admitted their guilt during a packed hearing in federal court in Newark.
Under their plea agreements, Joe Giudice, 43, could be sentenced to a minimum of three years but less than four years in prison, while Teresa Giudice, 41, would face a term within the range of 21 to 27 months.
Her attorney, Henry E. Klingeman, however, reserved the right to ask the judge for a sentence below the guidelines range based on family circumstances — the couple has four daughters — and her minimal role.
