Kidney, Court, and Confinement | Chicago News

Carmine Agnello, son of Victoria Gotti, faced a high-stakes ultimatum: surrender to prison yesterday for a 15-month COVID fraud sentence—or go through with a kidney transplant for his mother, whose surgery had been postponed multiple times. His lawyer begged for more time, citing medical delays and the risk of losing his chance to donate if he went to prison now. Prosecutors scoffed, noting no surgery was even scheduled—and the judge sided with them, giving him until 4 PM to surrender. This isn’t the first delay—his sentence was pushed back twice already, including once for the transplant, and earlier arguments for home confinement were denied. Now, he’ll serve at a minimum-security facility in Fairton, NJ, while also facing separate assault charges he denies.
