Thailand has deported five crew members who were aboard a Georgian-flagged cargo plane carrying North Korean-made weapons.

The Associated Press said Saturday that the crew, comprised of four Belarussians and one Kazakh, were deported on Friday following the Thai justice ministry’s decision that it was not in the national interest to pursue the case.

Thai authorities seized the plane during a refueling stop on December 13th. The plane, alleged to have been carrying 40 tons of weapons made in North Korea, was heading for a third yet-to-be-confirmed country.
