Kim Dotcom, who lives in New Zealand, may soon travel to the United States to stand trial for copyright infringement and fraud.
According to the BBC, according to the decision of the New Zealand Court of Appeal, the entrepreneur, along with three other persons, should be extradited to the United States in the case of the now defunct file-sharing service Megaupload. Earlier, Dotcom's extradition to the United States was also approved by the Supreme Court of New Zealand.
The final decision on the transfer of the entrepreneur to the US authorities must be signed by the Minister of Justice, which means that Dotcom has another, albeit small, chance to stay in New Zealand.
The United States has been seeking the entrepreneur's extradition since 2012, and Dotcom has been engaged in litigation ever since. In particular, he sued the New Zealand government, demanding $6.8 million in compensation for negligent treatment of the highly profitable Megaupload server, which led to its destruction.
In the United States, Dotcom and his associates Mattias Ortmann, Bram van der Kolk and Finn Batato were charged with participating in a criminal organization that caused $500 million in damages to copyright holders.
