POLAND   –   Poland’s government will appeal a court’s decision to block Roman Polanski’s extradition to the United States, an official said yesterday, reviving prospects the aging filmmaker could face justice over a decades-old child sex conviction.

Zbigniew Ziobro, Poland’s attorney general and minister of justice, will submit his appeal to the Supreme Court, his spokesman told CNN. In October, a Polish court rejected a U.S. extradition request as “inadmissible.” U.S. officials have pursued Polanski’s extradition for decades, seeking to bring him to account for underage sex with a 13-year-old girl in California in 1977 when the director was 43. Polanski pleaded guilty at the time under a deal with prosecutors that included dropping more serious charges.(CNN.COM/photo: cnn.com)…[+]
