However, the destination will not be Managua. The Prosecutor’s Office managed to extend the arrest of two of the passengers until Monday followingnoon, in whose possession the passports of several of the travelers were found, as well as a significant amount of cash. Everything suggests that everyone will have to return to India following the Court considered that the retention of the aircraft was not legal.
The four judges who began questioning the passengers this morning (a procedure that was going to last two days) confirmed that eleven hours passed between the moment the plane was immobilized and the communication to a magistrate, a time considered excessive and that one of the passengers’ lawyers considered it “totally irregular.”
Where did they intend to go?
The president of the local Bar Association expressed, for his part, his concern regarding the “poor living conditions” in the area enabled by the civil protection services to accommodate Indian citizens, 11 of whom are unaccompanied minors. The authorities set up a reception center in the airport lobby, with individual bunks, medical care and food distribution at regular times.
The plane was grounded following French authorities received an anonymous communication that there might be victims of trafficking among the travelers. Various police, judicial and administrative agencies specialized in international human trafficking participate in the investigation. A source close to the investigation stated that the passengers probably intended to go to a Central American country to try to head north from there and enter the United States or Canada irregularly.
