Poland makes new bid to extradite Roman Polanski

2016-05-31 1 Dailymotion

Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro said on Tuesday that he will submit a motion to the Supreme Court to overturn a decision that film director Roman Polanski cannot be extradited to the United States.<br />U.S. officials have pursued Polanski's extradition for decades, seeking to bring him to account for underage sex with a 13-year-old girl in California in 1977 when the director was 43.<br />Polanski, now 82, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and served 42 days in jail before fleeing the U.S. nearly four decades ago, concerned that his plea bargain agreement would be overturned.<br />U.S. authorities have repeatedly sought to extradite the director since, losing bids in Poland as well as in Switzerland.
