The couple was convicted of wire and bankruptcy fraud. Teresa was sentenced\u00a0to prison for 15 months and Joe was sentenced to 41 months followed by\u00a0a potential deportation to Italy. He was also ordered to pay $414,000 in restitution.<\/p>\n<p>Teresa pleaded to the judge\u00a0for house arrest, instead of time behind bars, so she could care for her children. Instead the judge was lenient and staggered their sentences. Teresa will begin serving\u00a0her sentence January 5, 2015.\u00a0 Once she has completed her sentence, Joe will begin his.<\/p>\n<p>Before sentencing Teresa begged the judge for leniency. Teresa said she didn&#8217;t care about handbags, which was\u00a0in reference to a\u00a0photograph taken\u00a0last month. Tabloid magazines featured Teresa on their covers, carrying a\u00a0new expensive handbag. The magazines ridiculed the Jersey housewife&#8217;s bankruptcy situation and suggested that she did not take the charges seriously. The judge didn&#8217;t buy it saying, &#8220;I need to send a message. In the eyes of the law it doesn&#8217;t matter who you are. There are consequences to pay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The conspiracy has\u00a0unraveled\u00a0throughout this year.\u00a0On March 4, 2014, Teresa and Joe entered a guilty plea to 41 counts of fraud, following a deal struck with federal prosecutors. The couple was accused of engaging in bank, mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud.\u00a0The net amount has not been confirmed or denied, but\u00a0reportedly the couple\u00a0received over $5 million over a 10-year period.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teresa\u00a0and Joe\u00a0Giudice\u00a0were sentenced Thursday, October 2, 2014.
