Kim Dotcom in final bid to halt extradition
10 June 2019
Controversial internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom has begun a final appeal to halt his extradition from New Zealand to the US on copyright-related charges.
The FBI claims Mr Dotcom's Megaupload site earned millions of dollars by facilitating illegal file-sharing.

Mr Dotcom, who denies the charges, could face a lengthy jail term in the US if extradited and found guilty.
