Roman Polanski faces at least three more days in jail before he will be released under house arrest to his Swiss chalet, a Swiss Justice Ministry official said Friday.
The official said Polanski has not yet fulfilled all the requirements of his bail agreement, approved by a Swiss court on Wednesday.
The terms include bail of $4.5 million, surrendering his identity papers and being fitted with a monitoring bracelet.
Swiss officials have not said how he will be transferred from a jail outside Zurich to his chalet near Gstaad, but did say the earliest that could happen would be Monday.
Polanski, 76, had an 80-minute meeting with his lawyer Lorenz Erni on Friday, but Erni did not speak to reporters.
Polanski is fighting extradition to the U.S. to face sentencing in a 1978 conviction for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl. He fled the U.S. in 1978 on the eve of his sentencing and has evaded U.S. justice ever since.
His lawyers have a date in a U.S. court in December to argue that the judge and prosecutors acted improperly in his case and charges should be dismissed.
The director of Rosemary’s Baby and The Pianist was arrested in Switzerland Sept. 26 after arriving to receive an award at a film festival.
