Victoria Gotti, the daughter of notorious mobster John Gotti, has paid up $2.6 million to help settle ex-husband Carmine Agnello’s legal woes, according to the New York Daily News. The move led to the removal of a lien on the realty television star’s Long Island home, even as her mansion in Old Westbury still faces possible foreclosure proceedings. Gotti claims that problems began after Agnello took out a loan to the tune of $856,000 without her knowledge — and then promptly went to prison on racketeering charges.

Victoria Gotti, who was in danger of losing the Old Westbury, Long Island, home where she and her sons were filmed in the reality show “Growing up Gotti,” has made a deal that will keep her home from foreclosure. Gotti had said she needed money that her ex-husband, Carmine Agnello, owed her in order to make payments on the home. But Agnello needs to pay off a $10 million racketeering penalty from a guilty plea in 2001. He planned to use money from the sale of up to a dozen properties to pay off the penalty, and Gotti’s deal with federal officials will give her a portion of the properties. [more]

Victoria Gotti’s Long Island estate, where she and her sons were filmed
in the reality show “Growing Up Gotti,” is facing foreclosure. Gotti,
the daughter of Gambino boss John Gotti, skipped two years of loan
payments and will lose her home in Old Westbury, according to court
records. Gotti owes $650,000 to lender JPMorgan Chase, a debt secured
by a mortgage on the $4.2 million mansion she won in a divorce. Upon
taking ownership of the estate in 2005, Gotti immediately defaulted,
and JPMorgan scheduled an auction of the home, but Gotti persuaded the
bank to give her an extension on the mortgage with the condition that
she would pay $200,000 by February 2006 at $25,000 a month. Court
records show Gotti paid an unspecified amount of money, but then
stopped. The estate is currently listed with Century 21 for $3.2
million. [more]
