Former Spouse Used Bogus POA To Secretly Take Out Mortgage On Long Island Mansion Now In Foreclosure, Says Ex-Wife

In Brooklyn, New York, the New York Post reports:

• With all the defiance of a spoiled mob princess -- and the dramatic acting chops of an Oscar diva -- foreclosure victim Victoria Gotti vowed yesterday that no one will be kicking her out of her Long Island estate, insisting, "This is by no means over!"

• "I'm never going to lose the house -- trust me," Gotti, 46, the daughter of late Mafia boss John Gotti, said outside court, where she attended a hearing on the dispute. "The only way I'm leaving is selling it."

• [This month], an appeals court allowed lender JPMorganChase to foreclose on the Old Westbury estate because Gotti hasn't made payments on a mortgage with a $650,000 balance in the past two years. To keep the property, which is now on the market for $3.2 million, Gotti is banking on help from the same man she blames for her financial mess: ex-husband Carmine Agnello.

• Gotti said her shifty former spouse secretly took out the mortgage on the mansion in 1996 by falsely claiming she had given him power of attorney -- and then left her holding the bag for the debt when he transferred his share of the estate to her in 2005.
