Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom is eligible for extradition to the U.S. to face charges of copyright infringement, money laundering and racketeering, a New Zealand court has ruled.
Dotcom and co-accused Mathias Ortmann, Bram van der Kolk and Finn Batato have a case to answer in the U.S., District Court Judge Nevin Dawson said Wednesday in a decision posted on the court website. The men all deny the charges and Dotcom will appeal today’s court ruling, his lawyer said.
