December 3rd, 2009 - 1:02 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )London, Dec 3 (IANS) Filmmaker Roman Polanski will get out of jail Friday on $4.5 million bail.
Swiss justice officials announced Wednesday that the director can move to his Gstaad chalet at 1 p.m. on Friday. Imdb.com reports that the court will eventually rule whether Polanski should be extradited to Los Angeles to face sentencing for having illegal sex with a 13-year-old more than three decades ago.
Swiss justice officials repeatedly had denied his bail requests, saying he was a flight risk. Under the terms of the bail, Polanski, 76, will have his phone calls monitored as well.
Polanski will be transferred to his luxury ski chalet in the resort of Gstaad, where he will remain under house arrest.
Polanski was arrested in Zurich Sep 26 on an international warrant relating to a 1977 charge of unlawful sex with an underage girl. He pleaded guilty but fled the US in 1978 before he could be sentenced.
