PATERSON, N.J. (AP) – One of the Real Housewives of New Jersey stars convicted of bankruptcy fraud this month is headed back to court.

Joe Giudice (JOO’-dice) is set to appear in Passaic County court Wednesday on false identification charges. He is accused of using his brother’s identity to obtain a driver’s license while his own license was suspended for driving while intoxicated in 2010.

The Record reports that a Passaic County assistant prosecutor said at a hearing last month that the case will likely be resolved by a plea deal.

Giudice was sentenced to 41 months in prison on the federal bankruptcy fraud charges while his wife, Teresa, was sentenced to 15 months.
