| A court in Switzerland has approved a bail application from the film director Roman Polanski who is facing possible extradition to the United States. More than 30 years ago, he pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl but fled from America before being sentenced. He’s been held in a Swiss jail since September after being arrested in Switzerland at the request of the United States. Imogen Foulkes reports from the Swiss capital Bern. It’s highly unusual for extradition subjects to be granted bail in Switzerland. Roman Polanski’s first application was refused. This time, the film director offered almost 4.5 million dollars in bail money and the surrender of his passport. He will also have an electronic tag and live under virtual house arrest at his chalet in the Swiss Alps. The court ruled these conditions should be enough to prevent him fleeing back into France. |
