The Secretary may seek a cease and desist order from the courts at any time after an official process has been initiated, addressed to any person who is intimidating or attempting to intimidate, directly or indirectly, a victim, witness, potential witness, their family and relatives. Once it is issued, the Secretary or his representative shall serve notice of the order and the consequences for not obeying it to the accused or suspect through his lawyer if he has one, or personally when he does not have legal counsel.
