RHONJ Teresa Giudice, Joe Giudice Federal Indictment, Divorcing Couple Used Mafia 'Gang' Tactics To Scare Creditors And Lawyers?
"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" reality star Teresa and Joe Giudice have been indicted for financial fraud, but now Joe is being accused of using 'gang' tactics to scare his creditors.
According to RadarOnline, attorney Monica Chacon represented Joe's former business partner Joe Mastropole for another fraud case in 2007 and remembers her and her husband's office being attacked, "Someone blew out seven windows at our office the same day we filed in court," she claims. "They were shooting slingshots with marbles. Of course we didn't catch Joe doing it, but my and my husband's office and Joe Mastropole's office were both targeted the same day we filed in court. It wasn't a coincidence."
Couple Attorney William Carlo Saracino and attorney Monica Chacon have "dealt with heavy criminals and we'd never had to deal with that sort of nonsense before. You see a lot of different types of people when you're a lawyer, but these two ... I don't know if they're just that dumb, or if they're crazy smart." Chacon added, "They just don't care!" She continued, "They do what they want, and they say what they want, and figure that someday they'll deal with the implications."
Chacon compared Joe's intimidation tactics to Al Capone even though he didn't have mafia ties, "Even Al Capone didn't go down for murdering people, he went down for tax evasion!"
"They have an inner-city, gang mentality," Chacon explains. "They're like people who have nothing to lose. That's what you're dealing with. It's crazy."
The couple faces 39-counts indictment for conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, lying on loan applications, and bankruptcy fraud. Joe is also being charged with failure to file tax returns for 2004 through 2008.
