P.R. Laws tit. 29, § 510f
In compliance with the duties imposed by this chapter, the Secretary may issue summons requiring the appearance of witnesses and the presentation of data or information that the Secretary may consider necessary, including payrolls, salaries and hours of work records and accounting books.
If a summons issued by the Secretary is not duly complied with, the Secretary may appear before any Part of the Court of First Instance of Puerto Rico and request that the court order compliance with the summons. The Court of First Instance shall give preference to the expedition and dispatch of said petition and shall have the authority to issue orders making compulsory the appearance of witnesses or the presentation of any data or information that the Secretary has previously required. The court shall be empowered to punish for contempt disobedience of its orders.
No person may refuse to comply with a judicial order so issued alleging that the testimony, data or information required might incriminate him or render him liable to a penalty, but said person may not be criminally prosecuted in connection with any transaction, matter or thing, in regard to which he has given testimony or produced data or information.
