Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri has been hospitalized after falling ill during a court appearance on Tuesday.

The Italian businessman was suffering from a severe sinus infection during a New York hearing, and had to be escorted away to seek medical care. Follieri - who reportedly split from the Devil Wears Prada star earlier this month - was placed under home detention until he posts $21 million bail after being charged with a dozen counts of federal wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering.

Under the conditions of the house arrest, the 29-year-old is required to wear an electronic monitoring device and is only permitted to leave his apartment for "legal, medical or religious reasons". He is currently in a stable condition and undergoing treatment, according to People.com.

Follieri's spokeswoman Melanie Bonvichino says, "He had an episode in the courtroom which lead to him being transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation. I do not have the specifics on what type of treatment at this time, but (it's) for a severe sinus infection."

Bonvichino claims the illness explains why Follieri tested positive for opiates prior to the hearing: "(Follieri has had) a sinus infection for the past three weeks. He was on a prescription and cough medicine from his doctors that contained codeine before retiring to bed that night. Therefore, that is what his doctors told me caused his urine test to be positive."

A status hearing has been set for next month.
