Writers for NBC’s Law & Order are busy prepping a “Ripped From The Headlines” episode based on actress Anne Hathaway’s unorthodox romance with alleged Italian con artist Raffaello Follieri.

Raffaello, who dated the Get Smart star for more than a year, was arrested on federal charges of wire-fraud conspirarcy and money-laundering on June 24, he is currently being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.

A Star Magazine informant says:

“Raffaello’s arrest was and still is the buzz in New York City’s social circles….He was the ultimate con man; handsome, rich, smooth and with a celebrity girlfriend to make him seem legit. I’m sure this will be the highest-rated Law & Order episode next season.”
