Roman Polanski Released: US Says Case Is Not Closed

THE TELEGRAPH: The district attorney prosecuting Roman Polanski in the United States have criticised the Swiss government's refusal to extradite the director and said the case was not closed.



Polanski was freed after the Swiss government rejected a US extradition request that he be brought back there and sentenced for having unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.

However, Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley said he was "deeply disappointed" by the decision and would work to try to extradite Polanski if he is arrested again. An arrest warrant on the 33-year-old case remains active in Los Angeles. >>> Nick Allen in Los Angeles | Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Polanski nicht auszuliefern sei eine Unterlassung der Schweiz und ein Affront gegen das Gericht in Kalifornien.
