In 2020, which court ruled he could still be extradited to the US?

  • European Union Court

  • New Zealand Supreme Court

  • United States Supreme Court

  • United Nations International Court of Justice

Answer

The New Zealand Supreme Court ruled in 2020 that the extradition of Kim Dotcom to the United States could proceed. The case involved allegations that Dotcom violated copyright law by operating the file-sharing website Megaupload. The decision upheld a lower court's ruling, rejecting arguments by Dotcom's lawyers that he should not be extradited because he could face excessive punishment in the United States.
