  • $400,000 Rolls Royce and 1959 pink Cadillac among vehicles confiscated


  • Founder and three others are arrested in New Zealand at request of the U.S.


  • Kim Dotcom and co-accused held in custody pending extradition hearings


  • File-sharers alleged to have cost media firms $500million in lost revenue

Police seized millions of pounds, a vast collection of luxury cars and sawn-off shotguns yesterday when they raided the mansion of a man accused of being one of the world?s biggest internet pirates.

Swooping on convicted fraudster Kim Dotcom?s ?16million home outside Auckland by helicopter, officers had to cut their way in to arrest him after the founder of the MegaUpload website retreated into a fortified safe room.

Dotcom, 37 ? nicknamed Dr Evil ? has Finnish and German citizenship. He and six of his employees face charges by U.S. prosecutors in what they say is one of the biggest criminal copyright theft cases ever brought.
