Jurisdiction can not be over a guy or a gal, it's about where and which crime happened. Person's citizenship can play a role in a process of extradition as countries generally protect their own citizens from it, but in this case Kim Dotcom is not a citizen of New Zealand.
- dane-pgp 6y ago> Kim Dotcom is not a citizen of New Zealand. Which prompts the question of whether he has applied for citizenship. Apparently that is an option for people who have lived in the country for at least 5 years, but it is subject to "good character" requirements and possibly some degree of political consideration, so it may not be enough for him to solely rely on being deemed innocent until proven guilty.
