Most of the approximately 300 Indian passengers who were on a plane detained near Paris on suspicion of human trafficking will be allowed to continue their journey on Monday, according to French judicial sources. The Airbus A340, bound for Nicaragua, and its passengers have been held at Vatry airport since Thursday after an anonymous tip-off. Four French judges have been questioning the passengers to determine the purpose of their travel, with the expectation that the plane and its passengers will be cleared for departure on Monday morning. The passengers, who include 11 unaccompanied minors, are currently staying at the airport. Two individuals have been detained separately for further investigation. Ten of the passengers have requested asylum. The Indian embassy in Paris is working with French authorities to resolve the situation. The crew members have not been detained. It is believed that some of the Indian passengers may have been workers in the United Arab Emirates, traveling to Nicaragua as a transit point for the United States or Canada.
