Polanski at his Swiss chalet after bail hearing

Wednesday 25th November, 2009
Academy Award-winning director, Roman Polanski, has been granted bail in Switzerland.
Switzerland's top criminal court has granted bail of $4.5 million, on the assurance Polanski will remain in the country for any future extradition hearing.
US prosecutors have asked Switzerland to extradite the 76-year-old Polanski for sentencing on a statutory rape conviction which has stood since 1977.
Polanski fled Los Angeles ahead of his sentencing, and remained a fugitive until being arrested in Zurich in September.
Polanski will now be under constant electronic surveillance and under house arrest in his Swiss chalet.
A bracelet alarm will be activated if he leaves his chalet.
No hearing date for the US extradition request has been announced.  Email this story to a friend

Polanski allowed out on bail
He should go to jail, and Ted the self confessed serial Pedophile should be his cellmate.

what is the bracelet strapped to? - and does it go live with 30000 volts 10Amps fry’n'die technology when he leaves the chalet? that would be cool.
