Two brothers from the notorious Gotti mob family have been accused of assaulting their brother-in-law following his alleged burglary of their relative’s home in Queens on Sunday, according to law enforcement sources and police reports.

John and Frankie Gotti, grandsons of the late mob boss “Teflon Don” John Gotti, are facing charges of third-degree attempted assault and harassment. They allegedly attacked Gino Gabrielli, who is the brother of John’s wife, Eleanor Gabrielli, after he was accused of being a thief, according to sources.

Gino “got what was coming to him,” a lawyer for Frankie told The Post Tuesday night.

Attorney Gerard Marrone commented, “There was some kind of issue involving Gino Gabrielli, and the brothers approached him to discuss it. Things might have escalated when he got a bit confrontational,” he explained.

“He should have kept his hands up.”

The family drama blew up after Gabrielli allegedly entered a bedroom window at John Gotti’s Jamaica house Sunday afternoon, according to a criminal complaint obtained by The Post.

He allegedly stole $3,000, a pair of his sister’s earrings, a watch, wallet and belt, the criminal complaint states.

The suspected thief was caught on surveillance breaking into the home, it alleges.

Gabrielli was arrested and charged Sunday with second-degree burglary, third-degree grand larceny and third-degree criminal possession of stolen property.

But following his supervised release, John, 31, and Frankie, 27 — who are the sons of Peter Gotti — allegedly went looking for the Gabrielli Monday afternoon, sources said.

When police reached the scene after getting a 911 call, cops saw the siblings punching Gabrielli in the face during a fight, according to the NYPD.

The two brothers pleaded not guilty in Queens Criminal Court Tuesday evening.

Marrone, Frankie’s lawyer, didn’t seem concerned by the charges and claimed it was just a quarrel between in-laws.

“It’s just a simple assault, it’s only a B misdemeanor, which is the lowest level misdemeanor you could be charged with,” Marrone said.

“I mean, you know, they shouldn’t have never even really been arrested. It was an argument between, basically, like in-laws.” 

He believes the case will be tossed because Gabrielli would need to sign a supporting deposition within 60 days, which Marrone doesn’t think he’ll do.

“He needed money for boxing lessons, apparently,” Marrone claimed in reference to the alleged theft. “Gino got what was coming to him.”

John and Frank’s famous granddad led the Gambino crime family for decades and was finally convicted of murder and racketeering in 1992 after endlessly frustrating the feds.

The high-profile mob patriarch died in jail at 61 in 2002.

The younger John Gotti has faced past criminal trouble tied to drug dealing.
