Overview
- U.S. District Judge Nusrat J. Choudhury denied Carmine Agnello’s last‑minute request to delay surrender and ordered him to report to the Bureau of Prisons by 4 p.m. on Monday.
- The judge said there was no concrete proof that a kidney transplant for Agnello’s mother was scheduled, and federal prosecutors had opposed a further deferral for that reason.
- The Bureau of Prisons reported at 2:33 p.m. on Monday that Agnello was not yet in federal custody and he had been tentatively designated to serve his sentence at FCI Fairton in New Jersey.
- Agnello was sentenced in April to 15 months for wire fraud tied to about $1.1 million in pandemic SBA loans and also must pay restitution, complete 100 hours of community service, undergo mental‑health evaluation and counseling, and serve two years of supervised release.
- Separate state assault charges from a June arrest remain pending, and the court’s ruling removes the last barrier to starting the federal sentence while Victoria Gotti’s transplant workup continues.
