Roman Polanski has been relocated from a Swiss jail prior to his release on Friday (04Dec09).
The Pianist director, who was arrested in September (09) on a 32-year-old international sexual assault charge, will serve out his days while he awaits possible extradition to America under home arrest at his luxury chalet in Gstaad after posting $4.5 million (GBP2.8 million) bail.
It is not known where Polanski will spend his final hours behind bars. He was moved for security reasons, according to officials.
Authorities in California are keen to conclude their case against Polanski, who fled to France on the eve of his sentencing in 1978 and has lived in exile ever since.
He had already pleaded guilty to having unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl at a Hollywood party.
