Roman Polański interrogated but not arrested

The prosecutor's office in Kraków has interrogated film director Roman Polański but found no ground to hold him in custody, Polish Radio reports.
Polański, who came to Poland to take part in the recent opening of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, was summoned to the prosecutor's office due to a motion for extradition issued by the United States.
The Polish-born filmmaker fled from the United States in 1978 after being convicted of sexual intercourse with an underage girl.
This was the second time that the US has asked Poland to extradite Polański. In 2010, Polish prosecutors found no grounds to do so, saying that under Polish law his criminal record had expired.
