A plane with 303 Indian passengers detained near Paris over suspicions of human trafficking will be free to leave Monday, French judicial officials said, though its destination remains unclear.
 
The Nicaragua-bound Airbus A340 and its Indian passengers was held at Vatry airport, 150 kilometres (95 miles) east of Paris, when it arrived Thursday from Dubai for refuelling, after an anonymous tip-off that it was carrying potential victims of human trafficking.
 
After questioning the passengers for two days, French prosecutors on Sunday gave the go-ahead for the plane to leave, and full approval for its departure is expected Monday, the local prefecture said in a statement.
 
Although the statement did not mention a destination, the head of the local bar association, Francois Procureur, told a press conference the passengers would be flown to India.
 
A source close to the inquiry told AFP that the Indians were likely workers in the United Arab Emirates who had been bound for Nicaragua as a jumping off spot for the United States or Canada.
 
The passengers of the flight, operated by Romanian company Legend Airlines, were put up at the airport during the investigation.
 
Beds, toilets and showers were installed, the local prefecture said, while police have prevented press and outsiders from entering the airport.
 
The passengers included 11 unaccompanied minors, according to Paris prosecutors.
