Following a lengthy FBI investigation an anti-terrorist police squad raided Kim Dotcom’s Coatesville mansion in January.

Much of this Hollywood-like raid was filmed by Dotcom’s own security cameras, but without it being on the seizure list the security tapes were taken by the police.

Claiming it was unlawfully obtained, Dotcom and the Megaupload legal team now want the footage back.

Among other things, they want to use the material to proof that the police actions back in January went too far.

However, after the police finally agreed that Dotcom’s team could make a copy, the real trouble started.

The server rack which also contained the security footage has been taken apart by the police, and the authorities even doubt that they have the “tapes” in the first place.

So the question is… Where is the footage, and why has it mysteriously disappeared?
