Teresa Giudice and her family might not have the merry Christmas they were hoping for. According to Radar Online, federal agents reportedly raided the New Jersey home she shares with her husband Joe Giudice and their four daughters.
Sources said the feds showed up to the house earlier this week and seized jewelry, plasma televisions, a large amount of cash and even the kids' Christmas gifts.
"Teresa was home and was absolutely stunned by the raid," the source told Radar. "She had no clue they were coming. She was absolutely hysterical, and begging them not to take the girls' Christmas presents."
According to the source, the raid was a result of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" couple failing to submit a payment plan for their outstanding restitution. Reportedly, Teresa and Joe owe $214,000.
"As such, prosecutors were eager to get the property seized," the source said. "The property will now be auctioned off with the money going into a trust account. If there is any money left over, it would go to paying creditors in their bankruptcy, in which they owe $14.3 million."
"[Teresa] is absolutely devastated that there won't be any Christmas presents for their girls," the source added.
Both Teresa and Joe were sentenced to prison for several counts of fraud. Teresa is expected to report to prison on Jan. 5 to begin her 15-month sentence and her husband will complete 41-months after she is released.
The couple had just wrapped filming Season 6 of the Bravo show when they were sentenced. Neither one will film scenes for next season as they await their prison dates and there have been rumors that producers will postpone the series until Teresa is released next year.
