Raffaello Follieri Complains About Unsanitary Jail Conditions

Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri claims he is being held in “unspeakably unsanitary” conditions in jail. Female First reports that he requested to move from the Brooklyn jail because his health is suffering after being thrown in the slammer for wire fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. Follieri “pleaded guilty to cheating investors out of millions of dollars by claiming he could buy discounted Roman Catholic Church property.” Follieri’s attorney sent a letter to a judge to request a move:
“He says that he cannot eat because the food appears to be spoiled and that the toilet and shower facilities are unspeakably unsanitary.
There is excrement in the shower and rats are roaming freely in the area. He says the stench is intolerable.
Clearly, no one should be subjected to these conditions. However, in Mr. Follieri’s case, the unsanitary environment appears to have had a detrimental effect on his health.”
Follieri’s attorney also claims that Follieri is ill with a running fever and blood in his urine.
Although he shouldn’t have expected to be checking into the Four Seasons when he was found guilty of his crimes, the conditions sound horrible. If it’s true, then he shouldn’t be moved - the judge should order that the conditions in the prison be made more sanitary for everyone there and order a doctor to look into his health and maybe give him some antibiotics for his infection.
