Feds Raid ‘Mob Daughter’ Victoria Gotti’s Long Island Mansion & Queens Auto Store Run By Her Sons


According to The Daily Mail — Victoria Gotti, daughter of Gambino Family crime boss John Gotti and star of reality TV show ‘Growing Up Gotti,’ had her home raided by federal agents Wednesday.

Her sprawling mansion in Old Westbury, Long Island, was visited by IRS agents executing a search warrant obtained from Brooklyn US Attorney’s office.

At the same time, just after dawn, the Queens auto parts store run by her sons was also raided, dnainfo reported.

Why the Gotti mansion – featured heavily in the show – and the parts shop, located on Liberty Avenue near Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, were raided isn’t yet known.

The parts shop used to belong to Gotti’s ex-husband, Carmine Agnello, but he gave it up after serving nine years in prison on racketeering charges, separating from Victoria and moving to Cleveland.

The shop is now run by their three sons, Carmine, John and Frank Gotti Agnello.
All three sons, and their mom, were featured in ‘Growing Up Gotti,’ which ran from 2004-2007 on A&E.

As well as her TV appearances, Victoria Gotti also wrote a series of thriller novels in the 2000s.

Victoria Gotti dumped Agnello 12 years ago after he was exposed for cheating on her with his Queens secretary – and was also convicted of racketeering.

Throwback Special: Oprah Winfrey Visits Racist Atlanta Town Where No Black Person Had Lived For 75 Years

In the following video, Oprah Winfey took her talk show to Forsyth County- Georgia, a town only about 30 miles north of Atlanta, to tackle race relations.
 
In 1987, Forsyth County was proudly an ‘all white’ county and a hotbed for racism fueled by the KKK. At the time, not one black person had lived there for 75 years!

Needless the to say the town ‘locals’ were NOT thrilled to see Oprah (or her show) which had only been on air 5 months at the time. In true KKK fashion they put on their robes, flew their confederate flags, protested and chanted “Go Home N-gger!”

The real tragedy is 30 years later not much has changed in terms of the race relationship between blacks & whites, especially in the south. The question is will it ever?

69 Year Old Protester With Oxygen Tank ‘Punched In The Face’ By Trump Supporter At N.C. Rally

A woman protesting at a Donald Trump event in North Carolina on Monday night was allegedly assaulted by a supporter of the Republican presidential candidate. 

“I said you better learn to speak Russian, and I said the first two words are going to be, ha ha. [The suspect] stopped in his tracks, and he turned around and just cold-cocked me,” Shirley Teter, 69, told the local ABC station WLOS. 

Teter has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and needs an oxygen tank to breathe, the Citizen Times reported. She told the newspaper she was in the hospital until 2 a.m., has pain in her jaw and can’t chew. 

Authorities have issued a warrant for Richard Campbell, 73, of Edisto Island, South Carolina, in connection with the attack, WLOS reported. 

Five other people were also arrested in connection with unruly behavior at Monday night’s rally. In one incident that went viral, a man was caught on video slapping protesters.

“People need to know what state of agitation [Donald Trump] puts people in,” Teter said, per the Citizen Times. 

I have no words. Deplorable!
