A High Court judge has ruled that police search warrants used to seize property from Kim Dotcom were illegal.
Justice Helen Winkelmann found that the warrants used did not properly describe the offences to which they were related.
The FBI agents had been accused of underhanded behaviour by Dotcom's lawyers in the High Court after they secretly copied data from his computers and took it overseas.
Justice Winkelmann has also ruled it was unlawful for copies of Dotcom's computer data to be taken offshore.
Police said they were considering the judgment and were in discussions with Crown Law "to determine what further action might be required". Full story...
