A high-profile prisoner accused of fraud will continue to have his name suppressed until his lawyer can work through thousands of documents from the Inland Revenue Department.
A bungled transfer of evidence on a USB stick, which the court heard today contains "over 1000 documents", prompted a special suppression order in May this year.
The USB was "lost in transit" between two officers from the IRD and contained information about the case.
The prisoner, who will return to court in October, is accused of committing nearly $120,000 worth of fraud by the IRD and faces 30 charges in the Wellington District Court.
