Kim Dotcom to marry on anniversary of raid

Kim Dotcom is planning to marry his 23-year-old Kiwi partner on January 20, the sixth anniversary of the raid by New Zealand police on his Auckland mansion.

German internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom is reportedly getting married on the sixth anniversary of the "military-style" raid on his mansion in New Zealand.

The 43-year old is set to tie the knot with 23-year-old New Zealander Elizabeth Donnelly on January 20, he told the New Zealand Herald.

On Sunday, he tweeted: "To all the ladies. If you're looking for the perfect husband who makes the best babies, I'm sorry but I'm taken."

Earlier this week Dotcom announced that he had reached a confidential settlement in his lawsuit against the New Zealand police force over the raid, in which over 70 heavily armed officers descended on his $NZ30 million mansion near Auckland to arrest him at the request of the US.

The NZ Herald reported earlier that settlements had also been reached between police and others arrested, including Dotcom's co-accused Bram van der Kolk and Mathias Ortmann.

It was believed their settlements were six-figure sums and it was likely Dotcom would seek more.

Dotcom is in the middle of fighting his extradition to the US on 13 counts including conspiracy to commit racketeering, copyright infringement, money laundering and wire fraud, all relating to the operations of Dotcom's former file-sharing website Megaupload.

Dotcom separated from his first wife Mona, the mother of his four children, in 2014.
