Polanski probed on extradition
Boguslawa Marcinkowska, spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office in Krakow, southern Poland, said the prosecutor questioned the director late Wednesday and was writing a report for the court that will decide whether to extradite Polanski. She refused to divulge any details of the questioning. In line with Poland’s privacy laws, she identified Polanski only as Roman P.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker is in Poland preparing for a movie he wants to film there in July. His movements are restricted by an Interpol warrant in effect in 188 countries, but he is avoiding extradition by travelling only between France, Poland, and Switzerland, which in 2010 refused to extradite him. He has Polish and French passports. He said yesterday he believes he will not be extradited.
