Shah was arrested on Tuesday and appeared before federal court.

"Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Jennifer Shah has been arrested and charged with running a nationwide telemarketing fraud scheme, according to the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Stuart Smith, Shah's assistant, has also been charged in the alleged scheme.

They both were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and conspiracy to commit money laundering, the U.S. attorney's office said in a statement. The counts carry a maximum sentence of 30 and 20 years, respectively, if convicted.

Shah and Smith were arrested Tuesday and are not being detained. They appeared in federal court in Salt Lake City later in the day to confirm their identities and the conditions of their release. The conditions include that they not communicate with each other, not move money in excess of $10,000 per transaction -- with the exception of legal services -- without court approval, and not engage in telemarketing. They are next scheduled to appear in New York federal court virtually on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET.
