Honduras's Public Ministry will summon former National Congress president Luis Redondo and four current lawmakers next week as part of an investigation into the former Permanent Commission, with their legal representatives already notified.

Congress President Tomás Zambrano is calling for a thorough investigation into a road accident in Villanueva that killed at least eight people and injured about a dozen, and urging authorities to enforce traffic laws strictly to prevent future crashes.

Congressional Secretary Carlos Ledezma delivered all impeachment records to the Public Prosecutor's office, which will decide whether to formally charge the five officials — including former Attorney General Johel Zelaya and two electoral tribunal members — removed from office in Honduras's first-ever impeachment proceedings earlier this year.
