Late mob boss John Gotti ’s reality TV star grandson has reported to federal prison after trying to stave off his sentence on fraud charges by saying he was going to donate a kidney to his ailing mother, Victoria Gotti.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed Tuesday that Carmine Agnello began his 15-month prison term the previous day at the Federal Correctional Institution Fairton in South Jersey.
Agnello, who starred on “Growing Up Gotti ” in the mid-2000s, was originally scheduled to report to prison in July.
“Clearly, the transplant surgery is not imminent,” said Joseph Nocella, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
He died in a Missouri federal prison in 2002 at age 61.
