Without prejudice to the provisions of the criminal procedures law, the Public Prosecution may, at its own motion or upon the request of the criminal investigating officer, may issue a warrant permitting the criminal investigating officer or the investigator to enter houses, offices or the Headquarters of the reporting entity to search for, detect and arrest persons, or to search for and seize funds, properties, documents, evidence or information relating to a predicate crime or a ML crime at any time during the period specified in the Search Warrant. In case of urgency, there is no need to obtain a warrant, provided that a report will be written indicating the reasons and grounds of urgency. The order under this Article should be made ex parte and without prior notice to the party concerned. The Public Prosecution will inform the supervising authority of the reporting entities on the procedures taken in this regard.
