NEW YORK (AP) — 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 southern New Jersey.
Agnello, who starred on " Growing Up Gotti " in the mid-2000s, was originally scheduled to report to prison in July. But U.S. District Court Judge Nusrat Choudhury agreed to delay that until Sept. 18, saying it would allow enough time to recover from the surgery, presuming that happened by Aug. 10 as Agnello suggested
Agnello's lawyers have said in court filings that Victoria Gotti, the daughter of the former head of New York's Gambino crime family, suffers from chronic kidney disease.
On Monday, though, with no operation in sight, Choudhury ordered Agnello to surrender immediately to federal authorities.
