### Salomón Faz Remains in Preventive Detention After Car Accident
**By Eduardo Villa**
Salomón Faz Apodaca, a former official of Jaime Bonilla Valdez’s administration, will remain in preventive detention after a judge deemed there was sufficient evidence to impose the strictest precautionary measures. The decision was made during a hearing on Thursday, August 22nd, where the initial charges against Faz Apodaca were presented.
Faz, who is connected to the Workers’ Party, stands accused of causing a traffic accident by rear-ending another vehicle. According to the complaint, Faz fled the scene without acknowledging the victim, who then pursued and recorded him.
Despite the non-severe nature of the alleged offense, the former official repeatedly failed to attend summonses. The incident, which took place on January 9th, involved Faz’s luxury vehicle colliding with a woman’s sedan on Montejano Boulevard. The woman chased Faz and captured the event on video.
During the hearing, Faz’s attorneys submitted testimonies to prove his residence in Mexicali but failed to provide any official documents such as a passport or ID. This omission led the judge to conclude there was a risk of flight, resulting in the decision for preventive detention. The court has set a two-month period for further investigation.
