Poland’s top court upholds refusal to extradite Polanski
WARSAW, Poland — Poland’s Supreme Court on Tuesday confirmed a refusal to detain and extradite filmmaker Roman Polanski to the U.S. if he enters Poland.
The ruling upholds the decision of a lower court that was challenged by the justice minister, and closes the matter in Poland.
“Game over,” said Jan Olszewski, one of Polanski’s lawyers. “The case is definitively closed. We won in a fair struggle. We feel satisfaction.”
Polanski, 83, is wanted in the U.S.
