Filed under: Auctions, Crimes and Misdemeanors

Looks like an upcoming government auction will feature some jewelry that once belonged to Anne Hathaway. The jewelry, along with Rolex watches, a Tiffany clock and a Cartier figurine were owned by her ex-boyfriend, fraudster Raffaello Follieri. The goods were bought with money generated from his illegal activities and represent ill-gotten gains. The items will be sold at a government auction and the U.S. government will keep the cash. Hathaway broke up with Follieri in June 2008 and turned items over to the FBI. Follieri remains in federal prison serving a 4 1/2 year prison sentence on 14 felony counts. The Smoking Gun has FBI evidence photos of the inventory prepared by federal investigators, The jewelry's total value has not been disclosed.
