**Primary Article: Former Bonilla Official, Salomón Faz, Detained by State Prosecutor’s Office on Collision Charges**
Salomón Faz Apodaca, the former Secretary of Water under the administration of Jaime Bonilla Valdez, has been apprehended by the State Prosecutor’s Office (FGE) following allegations related to a car accident that occurred months ago.
Faz Apodaca was taken into custody when he arrived at the Center for Justice in Mexicali, located in Río Nuevo. He was there to address accusations tied to a contract for a photovoltaic plant project worth 44 billion pesos in state resources—a project mired in corruption allegations during Bonilla Valdez’s tenure.
The former official was detained before a scheduled court hearing for causing damage to someone else’s property. These charges stemmed from an incident where he allegedly collided with a vehicle driven by Carolina López, a member of the PAN (National Action Party). López claims that Faz Apodaca hit her car and fled the scene.
For several months, Faz Apodaca had avoided attending court hearings, leading to a warrant for his arrest. Attempts to contact Faz Apodaca for a statement were unsuccessful as he did not respond to phone inquiries.
