Victoria Gotti is a deadbeat on the mortgage for her mansion in Old Westbury, L.I., which was prominently featured in the TV series “Growing Up Gotti.”
The daughter of the late Gambino crime boss owes JP Morgan Chase about $650,000 and hasn’t made a payment in two years, court papers say.
A four-judge panel of the Brooklyn Appellate Division has granted the lender’s motion for summary judgment on the foreclosure and the appointment of a referee to report whether the property can be sold in one parcel.
The decision reversed a decision in 2007 by Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Roy Mahon who determined foreclosure proceedings were premature at the time.
Gotti’s ex-husband, Carmine Agnello, got a $850,000 loan to buy the palatial home in 1996 — five years before he pleaded guilty to racketeering charges in connection with his Queens auto junkyard.
Victoria became the sole owner of the property in 2004 and the mortgage went into default while she and Agnello “were involved in a bitter matrimonial action,” court papers say.
She was able to stave off a scheduled foreclosure sale in 2005 by agreeing to pay JP Morgan Chase $50,000 up front and $25,000-a-month.
Gotti made several payments and then stopped, which prompted the bank to declare her in default again.
Gotti’s lawyer, Matthew Dollinger, did not immediately return a call for comment
Hollywood madam Michelle Braun cozies up to federal agents
Michelle Braun
Hollywood, sports and business celebs have reason to sweat now that top madam Michelle Braun has cut a sweet plea deal with the feds.
Mickey Rourke, Charlie Sheen, Jose Canseco, Courtney Love and several Playmates are among those whose names have turned up in records provided to authorities — though none of them has been accused of any wrongdoing.
Braun, aka “Nici,” is due to be arraigned Monday in federal court as part of an agreement to “cooperate fully” with all branches of law enforcement.
The thirtysomething mother of two is alleged to have taken the escort business to new levels of profitability by introducing the most desirable Playmates, Pets and porn stars to men who didn’t blink at paying $500,000 for a “girlfriend.”
But, after an impressive 15-year run (she always paid her taxes), Braun slipped up in October 2007, when an FBI agent posing as a “Platinum Club member” lured her into violating the Mann Act by transporting a woman — identified in court papers as “J.C.” — from California to New York City (That’s Braun’s mug shot above.)
Investigators obtained evidence from private investigator Dan Hanks who got to know Braun while working for “Fox Undercover.” “Michelle would ask me to do background checks on potential clients and girls, which I did in order to find out more about her,” Hanks tells us.
