Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski is being held in a “rudimentary” jail cell in Zurich and receives five Swiss francs (3.30 euros, $4.85) in pocket money daily, a Swiss newspaper reported. Citing information from Marek Wieruszewski, Poland's consul in Bern, and other unnamed sources, Le Matin said the 76-year-old Franco-Polish director, is being held in a cell that is “rudimentary, comprising a table, a bed, a wall cupboard, a washbasin, the toilet and a television.” He has been given tracksuits to wear and five francs a day in pocket money, added the newspaper. His breakfast is served in the cell and comprises coffee, bread, butter and jam, while lunch is served in a dining hall. Meanwhile, the top Swiss criminal court confirmed Tuesday that Polanski had lodged a separate court motion - a formal complaint against his arrest at Zurich airport pending the US extradition request.
