Johnny Depp has defended Roman Polanski.
The 46-year-old actor - who worked with the director on the movie 'The Ninth Gate' in 1999 - believes there may be shady dealings behind the scenes concerning Polanski's arrest for a 30-year-old statutory rape charge.
He said: "Why now? Obviously there is something going on somewhere. Somebody has made a deal with someone. Maybe there was a little money involved, but why now?"
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star also insisted the 76-year-old director was a family man.
He told the Independent newspaper: "Roman is not a predator. He's 75 or 76 years old. He has got two beautiful kids, he has got a wife that he has been with for a long long time. He is not out on the street."
Roman was taken into custody at Zurich airport last September at the request of US authorities, who are still attempting to sentence him for the alleged sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl in 1977.
