The Record
Teresa and Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice, stars of the popular reality TV show “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” are due back in federal court Wednesday afternoon for their arraignment on a 39-count indictment.
They are expected to plead not guilty to all the charges, which detail an alleged conspiracy to defraud banks and other lenders in connection to more than $4.9 million in home-related loans they obtained between 2001 and 2008.
Crowd barriers were in place Tuesday night outside the Martin Luther King, Jr. courthouse in Newark, and amped-up security was in place Wednesday morning in anticipation of another media circus – at their indictment in July, the couple was mobbed by photographers, video cameras, reporters and curious passers-by.
Both were released on $500,000 bail on the condition that they stay in New York and New Jersey. Teresa Giudice, 41, tweeted about her travel to Florida this past weekend for a book signing, but her lawyer – former federal prosecutor Henry Klingeman – said she had permission from pre-trial services to make the trip.
