Carmine Gotti Agnello Faces Assault Charges Before 15-Month Prison Term

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 4

Summary

  • Nassau County prosecutors charged Carmine Gotti Agnello, 39, after he allegedly slapped, punched and choked his girlfriend outside his Long Island home late Tuesday, then smashed her $2,000 cellphone.
  • The complaint says the attack followed accusations of infidelity and left Agnello facing third-degree assault, second-degree criminal mischief and criminal obstruction of breathing charges.
  • Agnello was released without bail at a Thursday court appearance, even as he is due to report to prison on June 12.
  • That prison term stems from a separate federal case in which he received 15 months for stealing $1.1 million in COVID-19 relief funds and investing the money in cryptocurrency.
