Switzerland will make an announcement today about film director Roman Polanski’s extradition to the United States for a 1977 sex case.

Swiss authorities today refused to extradite Roman Polanski until a US court rules definitively that the director must face further sentencing in person in a 32-year-old sex case.

Roman Polanski will be held in jail until at least Friday because he needs more time to pay his $4.5m (€3m) bail, Swiss authorities said today.
