Anne Hathaway's tainted jewelry headed for the auction block
In the spirit of exboyfriendjewelry.com but with a criminal twist, the feds will be auctioning off jewelry given to Anne Hathaway by her convicted-felon ex, Raffaello Follieri, the Smoking Gun reports.
Follieri bought the baubles with money generated from his illegal activities, and the U.S. government will keep any cash that comes at auction. Hathaway, who broke up with then-arrested Follieri in June 2008, turned the items over to the FBI that August.
Follieri still got his own set of bracelets, however. After pleading guilty on 14 felony counts, he's in federal prison, serving a 4 1/2-year sentence handed down in October 2008.
