John Gotti's Grandson Granted Prison Reprieve to Donate Kidney to Mother
Carmine Agnello, the grandson of infamous New York City mob boss John Gotti, has been granted a two-month delay on his prison sentence to donate a kidney to his ailing mother, Victoria Gotti. Agnello was scheduled to begin a 15-month prison term for his involvement in a $1.1 million COVID-19 relief fund scam. The funds, intended for struggling businesses, were misappropriated for cryptocurrency investments. The court, presided over by Judge Nusrat Choudhury, allowed Agnello to postpone his surrender until September 18, provided he undergoes the transplant procedure on August 3. If the surgery does not occur, Agnello must report to prison by August 10. Victoria Gotti, who suffers from end-stage renal disease, expressed gratitude for her son's decision, describing it as a 'gift of life.' Despite federal prosecutors' arguments that the kidney donation could occur while Agnello is incarcerated, the court granted the reprieve.
