Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith signed an extradition order for Dotcom, a spokesperson for the Minister of Justice stated

“I considered all of the information carefully, and have decided that Mr Dotcom should be surrendered to the U.S. to face trial,” Goldsmith stated in a press release.

“As is common practice, I have allowed Mr Dotcom a short period of time to consider and take advice on my decision. I will not, therefore, be commenting further at this stage.”

In a put up on social media web site X on Tuesday, Dotcom stated “the obedient US colony in the South Pacific just decided to extradite me for what users uploaded to Megaupload”, in what seems to be a reference to the extradition order.

Reuters couldn’t instantly contact Dotcom for a response.

U.S. authorities say Dotcom and three different Megaupload executives price movie studios and report firms greater than $500 million by encouraging paying customers to retailer and share copyrighted materials, which generated greater than $175 million in income for the web site.
