YORK — The husband of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice will be deported back to Italy once he's released from prison next year, according to a judge's ruling Wednesday.
Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice appeared before an immigration court in York, Pa., via teleconference. He has 30 days to appeal the decision, said Kathryn Mattingly, a spokesman for the Executive Office of Immigration Review.
Giudice is an Italian citizen who came to the U.S. as an infant and wasn't aware he wasn't an American citizen.
He's currently serving a more than 3-year sentence for fraud and failing to pay taxes. He's incarcerated at FCI Allenwood, about 165 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Prison records indicate he is set to be released in March.
The couple pleaded guilty in 2014 to bankruptcy fraud and submitting false loan applications to get $5 million in mortgages and construction loans. Joe Giudice also pleaded guilty to not paying about $200,000 in income taxes.
Teresa Giudice served nearly a year in prison and was freed in December 2015.
In January, during the season eight reunion of “Real Housewives of New Jersey,” Teresa Giudice implied she would be open to moving to Italy with him.
They have four daughters, ranging in age from 9 to 17.

NEW YORK — A New York federal appeals court says a new Lynyrd Skynyrd film can be released despite a dispute over the band's intentions.The case involves a movie called “Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash.”A lower court judge decided previously the film violated a “blood oath” made by band members not to exploit the group's name after a 1977 plane crash that killed its lead singer and songwriter, Ronnie Van Zant.The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision Wednesday, letting the movie be distributed.A lawyer for the movie's makers called the ruling “a victory for filmmakers, artists, journalists, readers, viewers and the marketplace of ideas.”The lawsuit was brought by Van Zant's widow and others, including founding band member Allen Collins.
