John Gotti's Grandson Arrested for Alleged Domestic Assault With Girlfriend

Infamous mob boss John Gotti's grandson Carmine Agnello has been arrested after he was allegedly involved in a domestic assault dispute that involved his girlfriend.

Police in Nassau County on Long Island, New York, said that they were called to a home in East Norwich on Tuesday, June 2, in response to a verbal argument between Agnello, 39, and his girlfriend, which allegedly escalated into a physical fight.

Police said that Agnello has been accused of slapping and punching the woman multiple times, as well as choking her, according to ABC News. Agnello also allegedly smashed her phone on the ground during the altercation.

Following the incident, Agnello was charged with assault, criminal obstruction of breathing and criminal mischief. He is scheduled to appear in court regarding the charges on Thursday, June 4.

It is not currently clear if Agnello has entered a plea. An attorney was not immediately available for contact.

Agnello's recent arrest comes just weeks before he was expected to start serving a 15-month federal prison sentence after he was convicted on charges related to a COVID-19 fraud in April.

"During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the defendant shamefully lined his own pockets with government and taxpayers' dollars which he must repay as part of today's sentence," United States Attorney Joseph Nocella said in a statement shared in a press release by the United States Attorney's Office Eastern District of New York. "Our Office will continue to investigate and bring to justice those criminals who stole funds that were intended to assist legitimate businesses and their employees during a time of crisis."

Agnello was found guilty of defrauding a program that was designed to assist businesses and employees negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"This investigation showcases the results that postal inspectors strive to achieve in collaboration with our law enforcement partners and the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Eastern District of New York," USPIS Inspector in Charge Ketty Larco-Ward added in the press release.

Agnello ultimately pleaded guilty to stealing $1.1 million from the Small Business Administration's Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program, as well as admitted to lying about the number of employees at his business, Crown Auto Parts & Recycling, on pandemic relief loan forms.

Agnello's late grandfather John Gotti was the notorious boss of New York's Gambino crime family, and was one of the most highly publicized American mobsters in history. He was often called "The Dapper Don" for the custom-made suits he wore, as well as "The Teflon Don" for his ability to beat federal charges in the 1980s.
