A Manhattan judge sentenced actress Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend to 4 1/2 years in prison for cheating investors by claiming he had Vatican connections that allowed him to buy Catholic Church property at a discount.
Raffaello Follieri had pleaded guilty in September to 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy. Follieri was arrested in June and was accused of lying to investors by claiming to be the CFO of the Vatican. He showed at least one business contact a phony letter in Italian, purportedly written to him in 2002 by Pope John Paul II.
