Anne Hathaway's ex boyfriend Raffaello Follieri hospitalised

Italian businessman taken ill during court hearing

Split: Anne Hathaway and Raffaello Follieri

Anne Hathaway’s ex has been rushed to hospital following his appearance in court on money laundering and fraud charges.

Raffaello Follieri was taken ill with a severe sinus infection during the hearing in New York yesterday.

‘He had an episode in the courtroom which lead to him being transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation,’ his rep Melanie A Bonvicino says.

‘I do not have the specifics on what type of treatment at this time but [it's] for a severe sinus infection.’

The Italian businessman was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

He faces 6 counts of wire fraud, 5 counts of money laundering and 1 count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Raffaello and Anne, 25, split last week after 4 years.
