YA CAN’T MUSCLE ME OUT

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.”

Last week, 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.

But Gotti yesterday suggested she could satisfy the debt once Agnello’s proposed $10 million property-forfeiture settlement with federal prosecutors gets approved.

Agnello, an auto shredder who did a nine-year prison stint for racketeering, has agreed to turn over a group of New York properties to the government to be sold off to satisfy his forfeiture debt.

Gotti could get a portion of proceeds from those sales because she claims an interest in the properties by virtue of a nearly $7 million divorce judgment she obtained against Agnello.

But Agnello might have thrown a wrench into the process.

At yesterday’s conference in Brooklyn federal court, lawyers for Agnello and Gotti argued over news that Marie Agnello — his 85-year-old mom — may have ownership interests in three Queens properties that are part of his proposed settlement. Because of that, she might have the right to object to the properties being included in that deal.

Agnello’s lawyer, Scott Leemon, asked Magistrate Judge Robert Levy for time to sort out the mother’s position and allow to hire her own lawyer.

“Mr. Agnello and his mother clearly have divergent interests here,” Leemon said.

But Gotti’s lawyer, Matthew Dollinger, said Marie Agnello is “cooperating with her son.”

“We do have evidence that Mrs. Agnello has acted on behalf of Carmine Agnello with regard to these properties,” Dollinger said.

Referring to the pending foreclosure of Gotti’s estate, he said, “With the misfortune of my client over the past couple of days . . . she does have a major problem. We need to know as fast as possible where this is going.”

Levy agreed, saying, “I think we need to get this case resolved right away.”

He gave Marie Agnello one week to consult a lawyer, and state any objection to the deal.
