Joe Giudice was indicted by a New Jersey grand jury on Tuesday, December 20 on one count of wrongfully using identifying information of another and one count of impersonation, according to E! News.

Joe Giudice reportedly used his brother’s birth certificate and marriage license to obtain the driver’s license.

The first charge carries up to 10 years in prison while the second can carry up to 18 months in prison.
