Victoria Gotti, daughter of imprisoned mobster John Gotti, was granted a divorce from her scrap-dealer husband Carmine Agnello, who's serving a nine-year sentence on a racketeering and tax evasion conviction.

Nassau County Judge Ira Raab granted the divorce Wednesday, Gotti attorney Stephen Gassman said Thursday.

Victoria Gotti, who forged her own career as a best-selling novelist, has custody of the couple's three sons.

Agnello was sentenced to prison and ordered to forfeit $10 million as part of a plea deal reached last August. He had been indicted on criminal charges that he tried to take over a rival Queens scrap yard by extortion and arson.
