ZURICH – The Swiss Criminal Court says imprisoned director Roman Polanski has filed a motion requesting to be released.
The court said in a statement Tuesday that it will make a decision "in the next weeks."
Any verdict is subject to appeal from both sides.
Polanski was arrested Saturday as he arrived in Zurich to receive an award from a film festival. The United States has been seeking his extradition for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.
