The Public Prosecution's warrant for seizure and search is considered part of the investigative procedures and should only be issued in cases where a crime has already occurred, and there is strong evidence indicating the involvement of a particular suspect, along with evidence that justifies violating their personal freedom or the sanctity of their residence.

For such a warrant to be valid, it must be issued by the competent jurisdiction prosecutor, based on serious investigations, that are handwritten, signed, and dated, with the name of the suspect or the place to be searched, along with a specific timeframe. If the judicial officer conducting the procedure exceeds the allotted timeframe, the action shall be deemed invalid. Furthermore, if the warrant is issued after the search or seizure has already taken place, it will also be considered invalid.
