P.R. Laws tit. 5, § 1094
(a) In the discharge of the duties imposed by §§ 1092—1118 of this title and in the exercise of the powers hereby conferred upon him, the Administrator may subpoena witnesses and compel the presentation of economic data or information deemed necessary by him for the administration of such sections; he may also adopt the rules of procedure he deems necessary to regulate the procedures to be followed for all petitions or claims filed in the Office, as well as for any administrative hearing that for any reason he may call.
(b) The Administrator or his duly authorized agent may administer oaths and receive testimony, data or information.
(c) If a subpoena issued by the Administrator is not duly obeyed, he may petition the Court of First Instance of Puerto Rico for an order commanding obedience. The Court of First Instance shall give preference to the processing and dispatch of such petition and shall have power to issue orders compelling the appearance of witnesses or the presentment of any data or information previously required by the Administrator. The Court of First Instance shall have power to punish as a contempt disobedience of these orders.
(d) No natural person shall refuse to obey a subpoena from the Administrator or a judicial order so issued under plea that the testimony, data or information sought from him may incriminate him or put him in jeopardy of a penalty, but such person may not be criminally prosecuted with respect to any transaction, matter or thing in connection with which he has given testimony or produced data or information.
(e) Any natural person committing perjury while testifying before the Administrator or his duly authorized agent may be prosecuted and punished according to the laws of Puerto Rico.
