John Gotti’s grandson tied the knot before turning himself in to do a stint in federal prison – wedding a woman who had accused him of choking her, according to a report.
Carmine Agnello, 40, surrendered on Aug. 10 to serve a 15-month sentence for a $1 million COVID relief scam, two days after marrying Ariana Puran, his lawyer told Newsday.
The grandson of the notorious Gambino crime boss was due to start doing time on June 2, but got a two-month break after telling the judge he wanted to donate a kidney to his ailing mom, mob princess Victoria Gotti.
Agnello was sentenced after pleading guilty to defrauding the United States Small Business Administration and several financial institutions administering the COVID Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program of $943,300. Dennis A. Clark for NY PostSurgery for the donation, which federal prosecutors had argued could be done inside a federal lockup, was never performed, according to reports.
Agnello was charged with assault on June 4 for allegedly choking and slapping Puran in his East Norwich home in a jealous rage over a reputed affair, according to prosecutors.
His now-wife later told reporters it was just “a regular couple’s argument,” but Victoria Gotti lashed out after the arrest and called her now-daughter-in-law “a rat” for calling cops.
Ariana Puran is seen in an undated LinkedIn photo. LinkedIn/Ariana PuranRecords show the case is still pending in state court.
Meanwhile, the Teflon Don’s nephew is doing federal time after pleading guilty to wire fraud in 2024 and admitting that he scammed more than $1 million in COVID relief funds through his auto parts company, and used about $420,000 to invest in a failed cryptocurrency firm.
He is serving his sentence at FCI Fairton in New Jersey and is scheduled for release in August.
Agenllo appeared in the hit reality series “Growing Up Gotti” with his mom.
