‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ Star Wendy Osefo, Husband Indicted in Maryland Insurance Fraud Case

Prosecutors allege the couple staged a 2024 home break-in to defraud insurers following a Carroll County grand jury indictment.

Overview

  • A Carroll County grand jury indicted Wendy and Eddie Osefo on Thursday, and both were booked in Westminster and released on $50,000 bonds each, according to court records.
  • The indictment lists 16 counts: seven counts of insurance fraud, eight counts of conspiracy to commit insurance fraud, and one count of making a false statement to a police officer.
  • The charges stem from an April 7, 2024 report that their Finksburg home was burglarized while they were in Jamaica, with a claimed loss of approximately $450,000 in handbags and jewelry.
  • Investigators wrote that items listed as stolen had been returned for refunds before the reported break-in, and they cited a social media post that appeared to show Wendy wearing a ring later claimed as missing.
  • The detailed counts in court records clarify earlier media discrepancies on the number and nature of charges and confirm that both spouses are charged in the case.
