From what I have read, the Swiss asked for documents from the Americans pertaining to Polanski's claim that an American judge promised to let him (Polanski) go for time served in a mental institute, HOWEVER, the American authorities are refusing to provide said documentation.
Something is not right.
If the Swiss asked for some documentation, and they have the guy you want - you give it to them.
As much as I despise Polanski as the garden variety pedophile that he is, I agree with the decision the Swiss made (from what I have read).
Maybe the American judge did promise to let Polanski off the hook way back when for time served - who knows.
Either way, it should not be a big deal for the Americans to provide the requested documentation. If it is - then something is up.
