Dotcom: Need to sure 'ridiculous'

08:59 am on 18 July 2014

Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom says it's ridiculous that he has to take the step of filing a private prosecution in order to get any justice, Radio New Zealand reports.

The Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) has found the police were justified in not prosecuting any officers of the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) for an illegal spying operation.

The inquiry was sparked by a complaint from the Green Party that the police were negligent in not pursuing charges against GCSB agents, in relation to the Dotcom operation.

Police say they now consider the matter to be closed, and the Government says the authority's report was thorough and the conclusions are clear.
