McCain Pal Gets 54 Months For Fraud
An Italian businessman who dated Hollywood star Anne Hathaway, made a deal with supermarket mogul Ron Burkle and exaggerated ties to the Vatican, has been sentenced to 4½ years in prison for fraud.
Raffaello Follieri, 30, pleaded guilty in September to fraudulently obtaining US$2.4 million by leading investors to believe he had Vatican connections that enabled him to buy the Roman Catholic Church's unwanted US properties at a discount.
Hathaway, who starred in The Devil Wears Prada, broke her silence last month, telling W magazine she felt like "a rug was pulled out from under me" when Follieri was arrested in June.
