Polanski, who holds joint Polish and French nationality,
lives in Paris so any Polish extradition order would not force
his return to the United States. However, Polanski hopes to make
a film in his homeland, a plan that would be jeopardized if the
extradition request is granted.
The case was adjourned in May when the court said it needed more
information from authorities in the United States, where
Polanski pleaded guilty in 1977 to having sex with a 13-year-old
girl during a photo shoot in Los Angeles.
