More details have emerged in the fraud investigation against The Real Housewives of Potomac star Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, who were arrested on more than a dozen fraud charges last month.

What are the Osefos being accused of and charged with?

The couple, both 41, was arrested in Westminster, Maryland, on Oct. 9 and faced 16 charges, which include insurance fraud, conspiracy to commit insurance fraud, and making a false statement to a police officer, The Baltimore Banner reported.

They are accused of possessing 40 credit and/or debit cards and using aliases like “Pam Olver” and “Eddie Hennessy” to hide their identities, according to prosecutors in the case, who also stated that Wendy falsely denied using PayPal, Venmo or Cash App to pay for jewelry.

Prosecutors plan to show the Osefos’ alleged spending through financial records

On Thursday, prosecutors said they’re seeking additional financial records of the Osefos to prove that the couple had a “pattern of excessive spending, supporting motive in this case.” They shared further details about the case.

“The State avers that insurance fraud is a financial crime, and in that, the amount of debt owed by the Osefos, jointly, individually and by the businesses that they own, is highly relevant to their motive.”

The Osefos’ attorneys believe the prosecution is on a “fishing expedition” and want the subpoenas thrown out, according to Page Six.

The couple’s defense attorneys respond to the accusations

Defense attorneys for the Osefos challenged the prosecution’s claims, stating that the allegations against them are false. Wendy shared a joint statement on her Instagram account from the couple’s legal team:

“At the outset, Police failed to properly investigate the initial burglary despite clear indications of a break-in, displaying clear bias against the Osefo family,” the statement began. “The Osefos heard nothing but silence from police for over 18 months despite complete cooperation and requests for updates. It is common knowledge that other Real Housewives cast members have also been victimized after documenting their travel on social media, yet none faced this level of scrutiny or criminal charges. We believe it is deeply unjust for the Sheriff’s Office and Office of the State’s Attorney for Carroll County to publicly expose confidential financial information about Eddie and Wendy Osefo. What is most disturbing is that the State appears to have begun investigating only after charging the Osefos, which is a highly irregular approach that raises serious concerns about motive and fairness. The public release of the family’s private financial details serves no lawful purpose and only invites conclusory opinions about a case the State is obviously still investigating.

“The Osefos have never used an alias on any financial application; this allegation is false and misleading. Such names were used for the delivery of packages, following their lawful purchase, to safeguard the identity of very public figures. It is ironic for the State to assert or exaggerate the existence of any purported debt in connection with this accomplished professional couple. Due process is paramount to the administration of justice, and its breach by misleading the public with a false narrative has only compounded the harm. The defense is confident the Court will prevent any further violation of the Osefos’ right to a fair trial.”

The couple’s next court date is set for Dec. 2.
