Anne Hathaway’s Ex Raffaello Follieri Gets Five Years In Prison

September 10, 2008

Anne Hathaway’s ex, Raffaello Follieri, an Italian businessman who conned investors by pretending to be a representative of the Vatican, has pled guilty to 14 counts of ‘con-artistry’ and ‘will serve at least five years in prison.’

While Hathaway won’t reveal if she helped the Feds, she talks about her life since the arrest in an interview. The midtown apartment she shared with Follieri was searched by the authorities so after spending a week “in shock” she’s been staying at a friend’s house.

“It’s a situation where the rug was pulled out from under me all of a sudden,” she says. “But just as suddenly, my friends threw another rug back under me.”
