>In June a judge ruled that the warrant for the initial raid on his mansion and the way evidence was seized were illegal.

It's amusing the case still exists at all when it's clearly been identified the raid and evidence seizure were illegal.

I wonder why we even have laws when the authorities can so blatantly ignore them without consequence.



Unlike the USA, a lot of jurisdictions allow evidence to be used in court even if it was collected illegally.


The legality of something such as evidence seizure effects how it can be used in court, not necessarily the whole case if they have other evidence they can use instead.


The FBI seized his server farm independently on the raid on his house.

I don't think they actually have much _evidence_ that they plan on using from the raid; I think the main action out of that was his arrest.
