Until the true purpose of the flight from Mexico to Essex carrying the vehicle parts of one of Argentina’s leading automakers is fully clarified. In particular, the five Iranians may be staying at a hotel in Ezeiza or departing immediately on a scheduled flight.

Finally, the federal judge of Lomas de Zamora ruled that in this case, Jumbo’s refueling was not within his jurisdiction so that it could travel from Essex.
