VATRY, France (AP) — A charter plane grounded in France for a human trafficking investigation is scheduled to leave Monday for India. The exceptional holiday ordeal left some 300 Indians en route for Nicaragua blocked inside a rural French airport for four days. A lawyer for the airline says most of the passengers will be aboard. French authorities are still investigating the aim of the original flight. Two passengers have been detained. Prosecutors wouldn’t comment on what kind of trafficking was alleged, or whether the passengers’ ultimate destination was the U.S. French authorities worked through Christmas Eve and Christmas morning on formalities to allow passengers to leave.
