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.
