Carmine G. Agnello Jr., the grandson of notorious Gambino crime family boss John Gotti, pleaded guilty to fraudulently securing over $1 million in Covid disaster relief loans, primarily investing in cryptocurrency, risking up to 30 years in prison.
U.S. Attorney Breon S. Peace stated that Agnello 'shamefully used the pandemic as an opportunity to line his pockets,' emphasizing the severity of exploiting national crises for personal gain.
After entering his plea, Agnello appeared anxious but was comforted by his mother, Victoria Gotti, attending court in a high-fashion outfit, demonstrating the familial support despite the serious charges.
Agnello faces serious consequences, including a potential fine of $2.2 million, illustrating the legal risks associated with fraudulent activities in the wake of the pandemic, as per the current judicial climate.
