Due to lack of merit, the federal judge of Argentina, Federico Villena, decided that the remaining five crew members of the plane of the Aerocargo del Sur Transport Company (EMTRASUR), can leave the country after more than four months of kidnapping.
According to information cited by local media: no firm evidence was found to charge the three Iranians and two Venezuelans, who were still prohibited from leaving Argentine territory.

The identity documents of 14 Venezuelans and five Iranians were illegally seized in June, violating their human rights. The jumbo jet Boeing 747-300 grounded also without any real evidence of violation of any rule, remains in a legal limbo after the US Department of Justice requested its seizure and the Argentinian government did not properly rejected it.
