An individual who has been convicted of burglary and is connected to the husband of reality TV personality Drita D’Avanzo from “Mob Wives” was accused on Monday of causing the death of a cyclist in Queens while trying to escape from a burglary.

Bekim Fiseku, 53, allegedly ran over 36-year-old Amanda Servedio, an avid cyclist, while leaving the scene of a burglary with three other people in his vehicle and a swarm of cops hot on his trail back in October.

Servedio went flying off her bicycle and slammed into a parked BMW while Fiseku sped off, according to surveillance video viewed by The Post.

The authorities stopped their pursuit to assist Servedio, who later died at Elmhurst Hospital.

Fiseku was ordered held without bail on the murder charge. He faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted.

At the time of the fatal crash, Fiseku was on supervised release after serving nine years in federal prison for a 2014 home invasion robbery conspiracy in Westchester. He was released in February 2023.

In 2008, Fiseku was caught along with a group of other burglars responsible for a string of heists in Staten Island. He was apprehended alongside three other men, including D’Avanzo’s husband Lee, a reputed associate of the Bonanno crime family, one of the five major Mafia families in New York City.

Lee D’Avanzo, 56, is currently serving 64 months in prison after a 2020 home raid led authorities to a heaping supply of drugs and guns.

Fiseku was also known for running around with other Bonanno members like John Matera, a source told The Post.

The group was best known for their sophisticated, formulaic heists. They allegedly used an underground location adjacent to a bank, chiseled their way through the wall and broke in — knowing they had plenty of time because they always planned around a holiday weekend.

They would rarely ever step foot inside the actual bank, instead opting to tunnel their way directly into the vaults and empty out the deposit boxes, as reported by silive.com when they were captured during “Operation Turkeyshoot” in 2008.
