A federal judge granted Carmine Agnello, the grandson of late mob boss John Gotti, a delay in his self-surrender date, with caveats to allow him to donate a kidney to his mother, Victoria Gotti.
In a ruling issued Thursday, the judge said Agnello can postpone his surrender to prison until Sept. 18 if the transplant takes place on or before his original Aug. 10 surrender date.
If the procedure does not occur by then, however, Agnello must report to prison on Monday as previously ordered, according to court records.
The judge also directed Agnello to notify the court once the transplant has been completed.
He was sentenced to 15 months in prison after admitting to stealing more than $1 million in pandemic relief funds.
As previously reported, Agnello was scheduled to donate a kidney to his mother earlier this week on Monday, but the procedure was delayed after she got a serious infection.
