Looks like he was arrested again in Cleveland. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2015/07/former_gambino_crime_family_me.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.158.206.100 ( talk) 00:54, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
ThePlane11 made some edits to the article on July 6, 2018, which I reverted with edit summaries included. Rather than discussing the matter on the talk page, the editor restored them. Among their changes was removing the well-written, standard lead which had been in place for many years and replacing it with one that included his former family relationship (son-in-law) to John Gotti. On Wikipedia, notability is not inherited; therefore, the Gotti connection should not be included in the lead but rather in the body only. Also, while the fact the Agnello paid for a girl's funeral in Cleveland may be interesting enough for inclusion in a newspaper, it is not encylopedic. The editor not only restored it, but did so in a completely unrelated section (Scrapyard Operation) even though the edit summary explained it. Finally, any new content added needs to be reliably sourced. The editor should gain consensus from other editors before restoring any of the content. 173.91.60.85 ( talk) 03:21, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
ThePlane11 has restarted edit-warring, and continues to disregard clear edit summaries or implies that (s)he does not to understand them. Among them, the editor restored content about the arrest in a New York incident of Agnello's son, Carmine Gotti Agnello, which of course does not belong in his father's bio. Previously, ThePlane also added negative content about the son regarding an Ohio incident the father was involved in, even though the son was never even mentioned in the source. 173.91.60.85 ( talk) 06:28, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
In July 2015, Agnello was arrested in Cleveland, Ohio on charges of theft, money laundering, and conspiracy, as well as drugging his own race horses with performance-enhancing drugs. He operated a $3 million stolen car and scrap metal scam at his scrapyard in Cleveland. In 2017, he accepted a plea deal.
That sweetheart plea deal is inexplicable on the facts given. It amounts to barely a traffic ticket in this line of work, for a felon of his reputation. Either the case must have been extremely weak, or the prosecutor's knees must have been greased or knocked together. The only thing that made any sense in the associated citation is that the prosecutor's office refused to make a public statement after cutting the deal.
And if the $180,000 hadn't actually lead to charges, who pays then? The public purse. So by no means did they recoup the cost of the investigation once you factor in the uncertainties of the final outcome. Heads you lose everything, tails you get most of your money back. Nice wager. — MaxEnt 14:57, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
