It’s off to the slammer for Raffaello Follieri.
He had pleaded guilty in September to 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.
Today he was sentenced in Manhattan federal court Thursday to 4½ years in prison, reports People.
Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, plead guilty to all 14 counts against him Wednesday morning in a Manhattan federal court.
He plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering.
Anne Hathaway talks with the upcoming issue of W about her ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, who was arrested in June on charges of wire fraud and money laundering.
“As soon as I found out about the arrest, I had to get on a plane to Mexico to do a press tour for Get Smart,” she says. “And then I spent a week in shock at a friend’s house…It’s a situation where the rug was pulled out from under me all of a sudden. But just as suddenly, my friends threw another rug back under me. One said, ‘Go stay at my house.’
It seems as though Anne Hathway and Raffaello Follieri took part of a trend celebs seem so fond of: Taking nude photos.
When Follieri was arrested and charged with 11 counts of fraud and money laundering, the FBI cleared out a storage unit that held these flesh baring pics. One photo is said to be of Anne wearing black fishnet stockings, a garter belt and a breast-exposing bustier.

The New York Post is reporting that Anne Hathaway’s former boyfriend Raffaello Follieri has been arrested on wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering charges, Manhattan prosecutors said Tuesday.
Raffaello Follieri, who was awaiting an appearance in Manhattan federal court, is accused of falsely telling an investor that the Vatican had appointed him to manage its financial affairs.
He allegedly claimed that, as a result of his Vatican connections, he and others could obtain properties of the Catholic church in the United States at a substantial discount to fair market value.

The Devil Wears Prada actress Anne Hathaway and Get Smart star broke up with long-term boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, according to the Mail Online.
The 25-year-old movie star ended her four year relationship with Italian-American businessman, 29, over the weekend.
This follows a year of scandal.

A source tells the Daily Mail: ‘It’s heartbreaking for her to dump him, and she’s devastated that it’s come to this, but she really didn’t have a choice. His scandals were hurting her reputation.’
