A court in New Zealand has ruled that Megaupload boss Kim Dotcom can sue the country's foreign intelligence service for illegally spying on him.

The court rejected a challenge to an earlier ruling allowing him to sue the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) over his treatment.

GCSB worked with US officials to investigate Mr Dotcom over allegations of online piracy and money laundering.

Mr Dotcom, who denied the charges, is fighting extradition to the US.

US officials allege that pirated movies and other content shared through his Megaupload site cost copyright holders more than $500m (£322m) in lost earnings, making it one of the biggest cases of its kind.

He faces a jail sentence of up to 20 years if convicted in the US.

Mr Dotcom's home and the offices of Megaupload were raided in January 2012 as part of the FBI investigation. The GCSB was asked to spy on Mr Dotcom by police prior to the raid.
