Two of German internet millionaire Kim Dotcom's three co-accused have been granted bail.
Bram van der Kolk and Finn Batato were granted bail at a hearing at North Shore District Court this afternoon.
Judge David McNaughton said he will need to hear further submissions from Mathias Ortmann's lawyer before a decision on bail is made.
It could be a week before van der Kolk and Batato are released because the Crown will need to explore the proposed bail addresses.
Dotcom was denied bail yesterday.
The four were arrested after a police raid at Dotcom's $30 million rented Coatesville mansion on Friday morning.
The FBI is seeking to extradite them to the US to face charges of conspiring to commit racketeering, conspiring to commit money laundering, copyright infringement, and aiding and abetting copyright infringement.
Dotcom's head of security also appeared in court on a firearms charge earlier today.
Wayne Phillip Tempero, 55, appeared in North Shore District Court this morning charged with unlawful possession of a pistol, namely a semi-automatic shotgun.
Speaking outside court before his appearance, Tempero, who is in charge of security at Dotcom's luxury rented mansion near Auckland, said he would fight the charges.
He said the shotguns had been bought in Auckland with a licence.
Dotcom has already launched an appeal after a decision yesterday to decline bail while he awaits an extradition hearing.
