French culture minister Frédéric Mitterrand said he was 'dumbfounded' by Polanski's arrest, adding that he 'strongly regrets that a new ordeal is being inflicted on someone who has already experienced so many of them'. The Swiss Directors' Association also criticised the authorities over what it described as 'not only a grotesque farce of justice, but also an immense cultural scandal'
