FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Officers cut Dotcom out of a safe room he had barricaded himself in within the
sprawling mansion, reputedly New Zealand’s most expensive home.
Dotcom, dressed in the same black trousers and track suit top he was arrested
in, showed no emotion when the decision was read out, but his lawyer said he
was “very disappointed” and would appeal immediately.
“The judge has agreed with much of what we have submitted but he has
taken a different view on the issue of flight risk,” Paul Davison told
reporters.
The judge said the finding of unlicensed and illegal guns in the mansion,
northwest of Auckland, pointed to possible criminal connections, which could
make it easier to escape to Germany, where Dotcom would be safe from
extradition.
Dotcom’s lawyers said he emphatically denied the charges. They also said he
was suffering from diabetes and hypertension as well as receiving treatment
for a slipped disc.
He now faces four weeks behind bars in Auckland’s main remand prison.
Megaupload and its related sites were among the Internet’s most popular,
allowing users to upload and share all kinds of content.
The site boasted having a billion users and as much as 4 percent of all
Internet traffic. Prosecutors say Dotcom personally made $115,000 a day from
the business in 2010.
The judge said he could not assess whether the United States had a strong
enough case against Dotcom or whether he had a good defence.
“All I can says is that there appears to be an arguable defence at least
in respect of the breach of copyright charges,” McNaughton wrote.
McNaughton said he did not know how long a hearing would take, nor could it be
heard “for some months”. Legal experts said the extradition
process could drag on for an extended period, as with efforts to extradite
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to Sweden from Britain.
A group of Dotcom’s supporters left the court dejected and refused to talk to
media.
Three other men charged with Dotcom were also remanded in custody and applied
to the judge for separate hearings to make individual bail applications.
