一名巴拿马检察官说，因被指私运古巴军火而被扣留的一艘朝鲜货船可以离开巴拿马，但表示尚未决定如何处置35名船员。早些时候媒体对此有过不同的报道。

检察官穆尔加斯星期三晚间对记者说，他的办公室收到一系列有关如何处置朝鲜船只上的船员的诉求，但目前尚未做出决定。

穆尔加斯说，这艘朝鲜船只可以离开，但可能必须首先向巴拿马运河管理局缴纳罚款，然后才能离境。

穆尔加斯星期三早些时候曾表示，只有这艘船的船长、大副和船上一名朝鲜官员将被指控私运军火。

A Panamanian prosecutor says a North Korean ship detained for allegedly smuggling Cuban weapons is free to go, but says no decision has been made about the 35 crew members, contrary to earlier reports.

Prosecutor Nahaniel Murgas told reporters late Wednesday that his office has an application requesting a series of measures in regard to the crew members, but no decisions yet.

Murgas said the North Korean vessel is free to go, but may not leave the country without paying penalty fines owed to the Panama Canal Authority.

Earlier Wednesday  Murgas had said only the ship's captain, first mate, and a Korean official on board, would be held to face charges of arms trafficking.
