Roman Polanski will not be extradited to the US

Swiss authorities have concluded they won't extradite film director Roman Polanski to the US to face sentencing.

The 76-year-old filmaker has been under house arrest in his Swiss chalet since December 2009 pending the decision.

He is wanted in America over a conviction for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl, in a case which dates back to 1977.

Swiss Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf said the "restrictions on his liberty have been lifted."
