Teresa Giudice Mortgage Fraud Case Updates and Sentencing

Teresa Giudice's mortgage fraud case was a highly publicized scandal that made headlines in 2010. The case involved Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice, who were charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.

The couple allegedly submitted false mortgage applications to obtain loans for two homes in New Jersey. The indictment claimed they inflated their income and hid their true financial situation.

The Giudices claimed they were unaware of the mortgage applications and that they relied on their lawyer and accountant to handle the financial aspects. However, prosecutors argued that they had knowledge of the false applications and benefited from the loans.

Teresa and Joe Giudice pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud in 2014. They were sentenced to 15 months in prison, with Teresa serving her sentence first.
