Overview
- The planned kidney transplant to Victoria Gotti was postponed again because she developed a serious infection, court filings show, and the surgery did not occur by the court‑ordered deadline.
- Carmine Agnello was sentenced in April to 15 months in federal prison for wire fraud tied to roughly $1.1 million in pandemic Small Business Administration loans and faces reporting unless the judge extends his surrender date.
- Federal prosecutors have repeatedly opposed further delay, arguing the medical explanation does not justify leniency and noting an organ donation could be performed while in custody.
- Judge Nusrat J. Choudhury previously allowed conditional surrender dates linked to the transplant and now must rule on a new extension request that would move his self‑surrender if the surgery is rescheduled.
- If the judge denies another extension, Agnello is expected to begin serving his sentence next week which would sideline the planned donation and leave outstanding restitution and post‑release conditions to be enforced.
