GENEVA (AP) Even though a Swiss court has granted Roman Polanski bail, he's staying in jail for now.

The Swiss Criminal Court accepted an offer of $4.5 million dollars in bail to allow the director to remain under house arrest in his chalet with electronic monitoring.

The Swiss government, however, says it will keep Polanski in jail while it decides whether to appeal the ruling.

A Swiss Justice Ministry spokesman says it will make a decision quickly, even though it has 10 days to appeal.

The court says it still views Polanski as a high flight risk, but believes the new bail offer was large enough to guarantee he will stay put.

The Swiss government is still deciding whether it should extradite Polanski to the U.S. for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.
