Film director Roman Polanski was questioned by prosecutors in Poland and later released after the United States requested his arrest over his conviction of a child sex offence.
Polanski, in Poland, the land of his birth, to attend the opening of a Jewish museum in Warsaw, went to a prosecutor's office in Krakow.
The Polish Government confirmed that the US had contacted authorities asking them to arrest Polanski.
American authorities have been seeking the 81-year-old director since he fled the United States in 1978 to escape a possible prison sentence for having unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Police in Los Angeles charged the director with sex offences including rape in 1977 before he accepted a plea deal, but he fled the country on the eve of his sentencing.
