Only one report names a destination. Free Dom writes "D’après les premiers éléments de l’enquête, cette lourde cargaison était destinée à quitter les lieux par voie maritime" (in English: according to the first findings of the investigation, this heavy cargo was meant to leave the site by sea) and does not name Mauritius. Zinfos974 writes "Selon les premiers éléments de l’enquête, la marchandise devait être chargée à bord d’une embarcation à destination de Maurice" (in English: according to the first findings of the investigation, the goods were to be loaded aboard a boat bound for Mauritius). This news item takes Mauritius from Zinfos974 and attributes it to investigators.
