| 1275568 | 2012-05-15 15:59:00 | Why should she be punished for her husband’s alleged misdeeds? It’s the question Mona Dotcom is asking in a petition filed with the Courts of New Zealand . Most of all, she wants her $150,000 Mercedes back . It’s hardly any matter that she doesn’t have a driver’s license . The lavish lifestyle of Megaupload’s founder Kim Dotcom has been widely documented since his January 20, 2012 arrest over allegations his popular website was a hotbed of digital piracy . During the bust, federal agents carted off millions of dollars in luxury goods, including 18 cars worth nearly $5 million, found at the Dotcom mansion . While Kim’s assets were confiscated pending trial, on the grounds that the money he used to buy them was obtained illegally, his wife Mona claims she shouldn’t face such punishment . In fact, little has been known about the 23-year-old Mona (or her assets) until this latest court filing, reported by the New Zealand Herald . Is there a "Chattel Statute" or some such law in NZ?

Their reasoning is that unless she can prove that she paid for those chattels with her own money (i.e. NOT supplied by her husband), then they are assumed to have been paid for with (allegedly) his ill-gotten gains. The problem I have with this is that, because the case has not been before the courts and proven him guilty of the charges, the assets should just be frozen, so they can't be disposed of - not seized. Innocent until proven guilty... Yeah, right! |
