Anne Hathaway is suspected of providing the FBI with damaging evidence to use in its fraud case against her former boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri.

A friend of Follieri speculated to the New York Daily News: “It makes sense. Hathaway is referred to as his former girlfriend in the FBI indictment even though her spokesman never confirmed they broke up.

“I think that, in return for her cooperation, the feds held off on arresting Follieri until Hathaway was out of the country.”

The Italian businessman faces twenty years in prison if found guilty on charges of wire-fraud and money-laundering. He is currently held in jail awaiting bail of $21 million.
