(RHONJ) Teresa Giudice And Her Husband Joe Giudice Likely To Plead Guilty To Fraud Charges

Teresa and Joe Giudice are reportedly prepared to plead guilty to federal mortgage and bankruptcy fraud charges in Newark, N.J. on Tuesday, as part of an undisclosed plea deal.  Sources told The Record that the (RHONJ) Real Housewives of New Jersey reality stars, Teresa and Joe Giudice agreed to plead together the "mortgage and bankruptcy charges" as a part of a "packaged deal," though they asked a judge to try them separately back in January.  Reports differed on the terms of the agreement. According to The Record, Teresa would face up to two years in jail, while her husband, Joe, has to content with a three-year minimum.  In-Touch magazine reported, that Joe will serve a minimum five years while Teresa will only get up to five-years probation.  Joe Giudice maintained back in January that Teresa had no knowledge of any alleged criminal activity.  Joe Giudice, had also been accused of failure to file tax returns from 2004 through 2008, a period when he allegedly earned nearly $1 million.  The plea deal will not keep Joe, who's not a US citizen but from Italy, from being deported.  After conviction, US immigration officials get to decide if they want to proceed with sending him back to Italy.  Joe and Teresa Giudice faces 41 charges of bank fraud and loan application fraud.
