Teresa was sentenced to 15 months in prison back in October after pleading guilty to bankruptcy fraud and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.

Her husband Giuseppe ‘Joe’ Giudice was also sentenced to 41 months in prison for fraud charges. He will serve that after his wife is released.

The judge apparently staggered the couple’s sentences so that there would be someone to look after their four daughters.

Joe, who is not a US citizen, is also up for tax charges and may be deported when he finishes serving his term.
