Surprising Development Regarding the Notorious Crime Family in the United States

Carmine Agnello, 40, grandson of mob boss John Gotti, entered the federal prison 'FCI Fort Dix' in New Jersey to serve a 15-month sentence for COVID-19 fraud. This follows a series of delays, including an attempt to donate a kidney to his ill mother, Victoria Gotti. Judge Nusrat Choudhury denied the latest postponement request, and Agnello surrendered on August 10.

Carmine Agnello, 40, grandson of Gambino crime family boss John Gotti, entered the federal prison 'FCI Fort Dix' in New Jersey, after surrendering on August 10. He began serving a 15-month sentence for COVID-19 fraud, following a series of delays in the start of his sentence. Agnello, convicted of stealing federal relief funds intended for pandemic-affected businesses, was also ordered to pay $1.2 million in restitution. The case centered on his attempts to postpone imprisonment to donate a kidney to his ill mother, Victoria Gotti, daughter of the 'Dapper Don' and former reality TV star. Federal Judge Nusrat Choudhury denied the latest postponement request, ruling that without a concrete surgery date, there was no basis for further delay. Agnello claimed his mother suffered from a severe infection, but the court rejected the claim. Prosecutors noted that kidney donation can be done from prison. Agnello was originally scheduled to begin his sentence on June 20, but received a two-month extension.
