The eldest child of the late John Gotti broke down at her brother’s trial yesterday as their father’s voice boomed out from beyond the grave.
Angel Gotti sniffled and wiped away tears as prosecutors played a 1994 tape of John “Junior” Gotti talking behind bars with his dad, who was then serving a life sentence at the federal pen in Marion, Ill.
The feds also showed jurors photos of the late Gambino family crime boss — who died of cancer in 2002 — including one of him smiling broadly into the camera.
“I don’t like to hear my father talking,” Angel Gotti told The Post afterward. “How would you like to hear someone who died? It upset me very much. It’s hard for me to see and hear him.”
The 7-minute, 15-second recording from March 19, 1994, featured father and son discussing the grand-jury testimony of reputed Gambino soldier Carmine Agnello, who at the time was married to Junior’s sister, Victoria.
Junior said Agnello “went in and took responsibility” for paying off a juror at the 1989 heroin-trafficking trial of the elder Gotti’s brother, Gene, after scoring an immunity deal from federal prosecutors.
Junior Gotti said “all the lawyers involved” hailed it as a “very ingenious move” that left prosecutors “crying over f – – -ing sour grapes.”
But the elder Gotti said “I woulda never in a million years suggested him to say that. I woulda tell them to go f – – – themselves.”
He added, “If there was a church robbed and I had the steeple stickin’ out of my ass, I wouldn’t tell them I did it.”
It’s Junior’s fourth conspiracy trial; the others ended in hung juries.
