Judge Gives Gotti Scion One Week to Donate Kidney or Begin 15‑Month Prison Term

The order ties his reporting date to whether his mother is cleared for transplant by the court deadline, with a short delay possible if the operation occurs in time.

Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Nusrat J. Choudhury set a firm deadline that lets Carmine Agnello delay reporting to prison until September 18 if he donates a kidney to his mother on or before Monday, August 10.
  • If the transplant does not occur by Monday at 2 p.m., Agnello must self-surrender to the Bureau of Prisons that same day to begin his 15-month federal sentence.
  • The planned transplant, originally scheduled for August 3, was called off after Victoria Gotti developed an infection and it is unclear whether doctors can clear her for surgery before the deadline.
  • Agnello’s lawyers say he is a cleared match and stands ready to donate, and an assistant U.S. attorney told the court he had no objection to the short, conditional postponement despite earlier prosecutorial skepticism about delay tactics.
  • Agnello pleaded guilty in 2024 to wire fraud over more than $1.1 million in COVID-era SBA loans and was sentenced in April to 15 months plus supervision and counseling, and he also faces separate state assault charges that remain pending.
