It is understandable for convicted felon Raffaello Follieri, who is looking at spending 4 years in the the pen for embezzling millions, to place the blame on someone other than himself. And who better to blame than ex-girlfriend and actress Anne Hathaway. Follieri claims he was merely attempting to keep up with her glamorous lifestyle.
Raffaello’s attorney was quoted saying the following about his client:
“Surrounded by movie stars and celebrities and this young man, who neither drinks nor smokes, became intoxicated with it all.”
And he added:
“The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.”
Well, we wonder if Follieri is wishing he would have picked a different lawyer. Most of us would love to live a more glamorous lifestyle but common sense keeps us from stealing LARGE sums of money because of that whole prison thing.
The con man will be sentenced on October 23rd. They are trying to get a reduced sentence of three years. Check out the letter that Raffaello’s legal team wrote to the judge on his behalf.
