‘List’ producer’s conviction upheld
Poland’s supreme court upheld the conviction on bribery charges of Lew Rywin, the Polish co-producer of the Oscar-winning film “Schindler’s List.”
Rywin, 59, was convicted last year of being an accessory to influence peddling. He was found guilty by a Warsaw court of trying to solicit a $17.5-million bribe from a leading newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza, in 2002. He has been sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to pay $30,000 in fines.
Rywin’s Heritage Films co-produced “Schindler’s List” by director Steven Spielberg and Roman Polanski’s “The Pianist.”
