'Polanski received special treatment in Swiss jail' | Acclaimed director Roman Polanski received preferential treatment when jailed in Switzerland, his former cellmate
has claimed. The filmmaker was put behind bars in September over 32-year-old child sex case and is presently battling extradition to the U.S. The 76-year-old was
recently granted a bail request and allowed to spend Christmas and the New Year
under house arrest in Gstaad, reports Contactmusic. His former cellmate, Yussi
Akram has alleged that the exiled star was given preferential treatment and allowed
to make frequent calls to his wife and attorneys. Akram further told a Swiss radio
station that Polanski's cell was equipped with a special emergency button he could
use to summon guards. Polanski was found guilty of molesting a 13-year-old girl
at a Hollywood party in 1977. He fled to Paris, France on the eve of sentencing
in 1978. |
