Swiss authorities have denied bail for Oscar-winning filmmaker Roman Polanski who was arrested in September on a US warrant after fleeing sentencing for a decades-old charge of having unlawful sex with a minor. A spokesman for the Swiss justice ministry said on Tuesday that the government believes there is a high risk that Roman Polanski may flee if released from custody. "In our view, there is still a very high risk that he will flee and that a release on bail or other measures after a release cannot guarantee Polanski's presence in the extradition procedure," Folco Galli said. Polanski's lawyers have appealed to Switzerland's highest criminal court for this release.
