Life in Prison

hathaway.jpg

This is WAY serious!

We mentioned earlier that Anne Hathaway's shady ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri was just arrested for fraud.

Among many crazy things, he claimed to be the CFO of the Vatican!

Well, according to a new U.S. Attorney's Office press release, Follieri could go to prison for life.

Here's a full run down of the charges against Follieri:

- Six counts of wire fraud and each count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
- Five counts of money laundering and each count also carries a max of 20 years in jail.
- One count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, which carries a maximum penalty of 5 years behind bars.

We hope Anne won't get dragged into any of the court drama!

But, we're hearing she already HAS!

An insider tells us it's 99% likely that Hathaway's already been interviewed by the FBI.

Dramz!

      Honestly, I feel bad…They seemed like a great couple. It's too bad because he did a lot of charity work….Things aren't always what they seem. I wish him well

      Mannn, that is not going to be fun for her. They're going to grill the sh%* out of her because she was associated with him for so long! She dumped him just in the nic of time… wonder if she knew it was coming??

      Half of the things she owns (as gifts) is probably coming from his ILLEGAL money!!

      For a crime against The Vatican- he will not only go to jail- his soul will linger in purgatory for a very long time…

      I think she smelled the bullshit this guy was carrying and got out because she knew it was coming to him really soon. It's not a coincidence she got out of the relationship on time.

      He's turned out to be a pretty boy with lots of angles, and Anne was one of them, I guess. I dated a slick guy like this in my twenties, and I'm no one's fool. She was a brief victim of wishful thinking. Hugs to Anne, and then 'next.'

      The Eastern District Federal Court in NY is no joke. This is big time shit. The whole "breakup" thing happened because she knew this was coming down. Her lawyers and p.r. people probably advised her to distance herself as much as she could from this clown. She most likely waited too long. 10 to 1 she gets pulled into this too and winds up with a fine but most likely no jail time. He on the other hand will probably do two years + in a minimum security prison.

      That must be why she finally dropped him! I think Anne is a smarty and was conned by a professional con man……..hope she did not lend him a bunch of maoney or sign anything for him!

      He's always been way too good for her. I hope she's okay.

      Sure, he'll serve them consecutively and do a couple years and pay some money. If he was smart, he'd offer to be the Vatican's traveling "boy" so they could move past all those molester cases. "Yes, Father Mulcahy. We understand you currently have needs. We'll schedule the "boy" to drop by while he's in the American Texas. Yes, yes. No trouble at all."

      I would imagine so. She was dating this man for FOUR years. You bet your sweet ass the FBI would be grilling her. How could she not know what this guy was up to? Was he that good of a con artist?

      So sad that her career is over, and she is so young.
      She could have been famous……

      Anne Hathaway was only dating him because he was Italian and she thought it would be cool to go around with a European boyfriend on her arm.

      c: excellent point. i would add drunk drivers to your list.
      they can kill and main and only get a slap on the wrist.
      why not life in prison?

      So sad. It seems like Anne was like one of the last real, legitimate people in Hollywood who haven't been to rehab, strung out on booze or drugs, or having illicit relations with someone half their age. Damn! Damn! Damn!

      I guess since this is her first major issue in Hollywood she's an official qualifier for an E! True Hollywood Story.

      of course she's talked to the FBI, they probably told her exactly when he would be arrested so she could make a public break-up before hand

      Why the heck didn't she dump him sooner? This is not the first sign of trouble and I think she is stupid for staying with him for so long. He is in deep trouble. Where the heck were her parents or lawyers telling her to dump this guy?

    35. wooti says – reply to this


      35

      Sounds like he is a part of or affiliated with the mafia…money laundering, vatican ties. If you know anything about the mafia, you would know that the Vatican is corrupt and underground things like that have mob ties.

      poor annie, she could use a prince charming to sweep her off her feet right now so she can forget….what's his name i can't remember.

    37. Daria says – reply to this


      37

      Trouble is she kept him far too long. She should have dumped him long ago. She must have known what he was long before she decided to dump him but was probably in some sort of denial. Some women are attracted to losers.

      Whoever believed this guy when he told them that he was CFO of the Vatican deserved to get ripped off. Stupid people should not be allowed to breed.

      AND WHAT? We all know that in america all the famous people can kill people, drive drunken and don't end in jail….. why should HE end there? Is he not american?

      VS. the penalties the Catholic Church gets :

      -buggering little boys, which carries the penality of getting moved to another parish.
