娱乐英语新闻：Feds say Follieri agrees he owes $3.6 mln

BEIJING, Dec. 17 --  The Italian ex-boyfriend of actress Anne Hathaway has agreed he owes more than 3.6 million U.S. dollars to those he ripped off in a real-estate scam.

Actress Anne Hathaway (L) and her boyfriend Raffaello Follieri arrive at the 80th annual Academy Awards, the Oscars, in Hollywood Feb. 24, 2008.

    Federal prosecutors said in New York court papers Monday that Raffaello Follieri has agreed to pay restitution of 2 million dollars to Toronto-based Dundee Realty Corp.

    They say he has agreed to pay 813,000 dollars to Yucaipa Corporate Initiatives Fund and 40,000 dollars to an Atlantic City monsignor.

    Follieri is serving 4 1/2 years in prison after pleading guilty to cheating investors. Prosecutors say he falsely claimed Vatican connections would let him buy church property cheap.

    Follieri's lawyer did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.
