Princess Diaries Undergo FBI Seizure
Well it sounds like Anne Hathaway is experiencing what ex girlfriends experience when they are connected to bad, evil men. Anne has been in the public eye even more than usual these days given that her ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri has been charged with 11 counts of fraud and money laundering, all with some very big dollar amounts behind them. Because of her close connection to the con man, Anne’s private diaries that she wrote in during her relationship with Raffaello have been seized by the Federal Bureau Investigation as part of their investigation into the $6.08 million dollar fraud dealings he was involved with. Her diaries have been confiscated, as have many photographs of the two, along with watches, documents, an antique Bible, and a Tiffany clock. Anne has not been charged with anything, and the FBI believes she has cut all ties with Raffaello but the timing of it all is a little suspicious. The fact that she broke up with him at around precisely the same time as all this came down is raising some eyebrows, even Raffaello’s who though broken hearted believes she had something to do with his arrest. At the time of the arrest, Raffaello was in Europe working on a deal, probably a fraudulent one, and Anne kept calling him to come see her in New York. He didn’t have to come, as he knew he was being investigated, but she said she wanted to resolve their future. With so much engagement talk between the two before this, Raffaello met his beloved’s wishes and came to New York where he was arrested within a few days. So perhaps Anne does know more than we’ve been told, and if so, she may even have immunity if she was the one that orchestrated his arrest. We may never know, but hopefully she is making the best of cutting her losses early and moving on with her life as well as she can.
