Roman Polanski Detained, Released by Police in Poland after US Request

Share

It looks like U.S. authorities have stumbled again in their pursuit of Roman Polanski. The controversial director was arrested and question in Krakow, Poland at the request of the U.S. while on a visit to Poland. I’ve spoken to someone who was with Polanski earlier in the week in Warsaw. He went there for a museum opening but also to scout locations for his movie of “The Dreyfus Affair.” By now he should be safely back in Paris. But this little adventure should be a warning that he will always have trouble outside of France. The US is still trying to bring Polanski back on the 1977 charges of sex with a minor. Their last effort to do resulted in a house arrest in Switzerland. Polanski was subsequently released. More to come…
