Anne Hathaway’s jewelry was recovered from ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri.
Anne Hathaway jewelry confiscated by the FBI. The jewelry belonging to actress Anne Hathaway is now up for auction after it was confiscated in 2008. Anne Hathaway’s former boyfriend was apparently a con artist who had the jewelry on him at the time of his arrest.
The U.S. attorney for the Southern District issued a motion demanding that all personal items Hathaway received from ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, be permanently relinquished to the United States government. In June 2008 the Italian con artist was arrested on fraud charges for reportedly swindling investors out of millions of dollars. In October 2008, Follieri pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison.
Hathaway, 27, does have time to appeal. All the confiscated items will be auctioned online for 30 days beginning December 12. However, the actress has declined, an indication that she just wants this chapter behind her.
The items up for auction include a $25,000 gold Rolex watch, a pair of silver diamond earrings, a silver chain with a cross pendant, two gold ring, a five-strand pearl necklace and a Louis Vuitton box. Additionally, Hathaway has declined the offer to bid on the items. Hathaway and Follieri split prior to his arrest.
