Pirates captured - where will they go?

The pirates which attacked the Melody have been captured.


<blockquote>When the Melody made a distress call, the Seychelles Coast Guard says it sent out an aircraft that spent five hours photographing the pirates' skiff and marking its position, before passing it on to a Spanish frigate that was in the area. The Spanish Ministry of Defense said in a statement that the Spanish navy tracked the skiff and apprehended the suspects. They were then turned over to the Seychelles Coast Guard.

Question will be, where will they go? Stay in the Seychelles for prosecution?

We shall have to watch.
