Polanski Ratted Out By The Swiss

New docs reveal that Swiss officials alerted the US to Polanski's plans to visit Zurich, which is what ultimately led to his arrest.
The AP reports that the Swiss asked the US Office of International Affairs if they wanted Polanski arrested, and after the Los Angeles' DA's office put together a warrant, Polanski was arrested September 26th as he arrived in Zurich to receive a lifetime achievement award at the city's film festival.
It's unclear what prompted Swiss officials to act on this visit, as Polanski had made the trip to Switzerland several times before without incident.
Requests for release from prison due to health reasons were recently denied, and Polanski remains in jail where he's awaiting almost certain extradition to the US.
Can you imagine the circus that will be once he finally stands trial again? Might be the craziest trial we've seen in LA since O.J.!
