(HMG) – After two months in a Zurich, Switzerland jail, Roman Polanski will likely be released any time now after Swiss justice officials said they would immediately comply with a court’s ruling granting the Oscar-winning director bail. After Polanski posts his $4.5 million bail, he will remain in the country and under house arrest with an under electronic monitor. But it will be a rather splendid captivity at Gstaad one of world’s most luxurious winter resorts, in his $1.6 million chalet (photo below) with breathtaking mountain views. The village of 2,500 has long been known as a celebrity hangout. The Swiss are gambling Polanski isn’t a flight risk this time given to the bail amount, his family, and his age.
The 76-year-old Polanski, who holds dual French and Polish citizenship, is waiting extradition to the United States after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a a 13-year-old, in 1977, after plying the girl with champagne and drugs. Polanski served 42 days in a psychological testing facility at Chino State Prison, but fled to France 31 years ago following the evaluation period and before sentencing.
