Polanski prepares for luxury Alpine house arrest
| dismissed.
Despite ordering Polanski's release, the Swiss Criminal Court said it still considered Polanski a high flight risk. That threat was underscored Thursday by Interpol's secretary general. "Given Mr. Polanski's history of international travel while defying a judicial order, a $4.5 million bail and an electronic bracelet do not mean that law enforcement lets its global guard down," Ronald K. Noble said. "Mr. Polanski has given us more than 30 years of proof that he does not feel bound to respect any court decision with which he does not agree," he said. "The world law enforcement community should do all in its power to make sure that the Swiss judicial process is allowed to run its course, and if Mr Polanski defies the conditions of his release, no country should welcome, offer safe haven to, or defend his conduct." |
