Gotti's Gotta Go, Says NY Appeals Court As Foreclosing Lender Gets Green Light To Give Late Crime Family Boss' Daughter The Boot From L.I. Mansion

In Brooklyn, New York, the New York Post reports:
  • Here's the reality: the Gotti's gotta go. The bank has been given the go-ahead to foreclose on Victoria Gotti's palatial estate on Long Island -- the same used in the TV reality show "Growing Up Gotti" -- saying she owes a whopping $650,000 in mortgage payments, according to court paper made public [Monday]. Gotti's lender, JP Morgan Chase, claims the daughter of the late Gambino crime family boss John "Dapper Don" Gotti -- owes them the staggering amount after she failed to make payments for two years starting in September 2006, court records reveal. [...] The bank said in court records that the mafia princess owed them $25,000 a month -- and that she never made all the payments.

  • The ruling reversed a 2007 decision by Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Roy Mahon who determined foreclosure proceedings were too early at the time. Gotti could not immediately be reached for comment, but her mother, also named Victoria, blamed the whole thing on her former son-in-law. "She's not in the mood to talk to anybody," her mother told The Post. Asked about [Gotti's ex-husband Carmine] Agnello's involvement, she barked, "The creep that he is, he took out a mortgage behind her back. She can't afford to pay."
