Film director goes free after nine months under house arrest in SwitzerlandRoman Polanski, the film director who has been under house arrest in Switzerland for the past nine months, has been declared a free man after officials decided not to extradite him to the United States.The Swiss justice ministry said it had decided against handing the fugitive director to the US, where he is wanted for sentencing for having sex with a 13-year-old girl 33 years ago."The Swiss justice ministry will not extradite Roman Polanski to the United States," Eveline Widner-Schlumpf, a ministry official said at a press conference in Bern. "The Franco-Polish film-maker will not be extradited to the United States, and the measures of restriction on his liberty have been lifted."She said national interests had been considered before the decision was made, adding: "Polanski is now a free man." Polanski was arrested on a US warrant last year while in Zurich to collect a lifetime achievement award for his film work. He was kept under house arrest at his Swiss chalet in the mountain resort of Gstaad.He will now be able to move beyond his garden for the first time. An electronic tag has been removed from his ankle.The Swiss decision is likely to cause diplomatic tensions between Switzerland and the US.Widner-Schlumpf added: "The reason for the decision lies in the fact that it was not possible to exclude with the necessary certainty a fault in the US extraditionary request."Polanski was arrested in September as he arrived in Zurich to receive a lifetime achievement award from a film festival. At the time, Swiss authorities seemed likely to extradite him to the US.Widmer-Schlumpf said the decision against doing so was not meant to excuse Polanski's crime, adding that it was "not about deciding whether he is guilty or not guilty".Polanski, the Oscar-winning director of films including Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown and The Pianist, was accused of plying his victim with champagne and the drug Quaalude during a 1977 modelling shoot before raping her. He was initially charged on six counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy. He pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse.What happened after that is a subject of dispute. The defence says the now deceased judge, Laurence Rittenband, had agreed in meetings with attorneys to sentence Polanski to a 90-day diagnostic study and nothing more. The judge later changed his mind and summoned Polanski for further sentencing, at which time the director fled to his native France, his lawyers say.

The most basic of research will lead you to see that this guy, along with many in the upper echelon of the world society engage in this sick fucking behavior. This dude is a prime example of how the elite protect each other because they are all involved. Yall know that there are thousands of children that are abducted every year all over the map and they are peddled within these pedo rings. You hear hardly anything about it because these are the true elite, the people that own network television, hollywood studios, and radio...and of course government and religion (vatican anyone?) Glad to see yall watched Rosemary's Baby. THAT IS A BLATANT WHISTLEBLOWING MOVIE. These people LITERALLY WORSHIP LUCIFER. They hide the truth right in front of your face and it serves multiple purposes: it desensitizes you, it makes you think the whole notion is complete fiction and BS because it is in a movie, etc.The husband in that movie gets his career jumpstarted as AN ACTOR by agreeing to allow the devil himself to impregnate his wife. The term "sold your soul for fame / rock n roll" is based on the foundation and truth that ANYONE, AND I MEAN ANYONE who is on the top level of the entertainment industry got there by literally vowing allegiance to Lucifer.Research the history of "Hollywood" - What is a hollywood tree? Where did it come from? Where in history did it derive? Check out Bob Dylan here: (There are many other examples too, but I'm going to bed)http://www.youtube.com/v/IqvvOD4bdRs
