Teresa Giudice, 41, and her husband Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice, 43, were indicted Monday on additional charges of bank fraud and loan application fraud, announced Attorney Paul J. Fishman in an official press release.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey couple were originally indicted with 39 counts on July 29, 2013; that included conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, making false statements on loan applications and bankruptcy fraud, as well as charges against Joe Giudice for failure to file tax returns from 2004 through 2008.

On Monday, they were hit will two additional counts: one count of bank fraud and one count of loan application fraud. This amounts to a total of 41 counts against the pair.

Wow, and Joe is also a reckless driver whose license has been suspended...47 times since 1987. And this guy has a cushy job as reality TV star when millions of law-abiding people in America are in poverty?
