Panama legal system
José Domingo Arias, quien aspira a repetir como candidato presidencial del CD, intentó abandonar el país. En el aeropuerto de Tocumen, el sistema reflejó que tenía una ***orden de conducción***, se le llevó al edificio Avesa, se le impidió la salida del país y fue conducido al Ministerio Público a rendir una indagatoria, donde se le ordenó su aprehensión, al menos hasta hoy cuando debe continuar la indagatoria que inició ayer.
===================================================
This is the meaning of the phrase, according to this website http://www.enciclopedia-juridica.biz14.com/d/orden-de-conduc...
Orden de conducción
(Procedimiento Penal) Orden dada a la fuerza pública, por el procurador de la república o por un juez instructor, de conducir inmediatamente a una persona ante él, sea que de dicha persona se sospeche que haya participado en un delito flagrante, sea que haya sido objeto de una inculpación.
===================================================
So, would this be a summons? Summons to appear? How would you put it?
I'm guessing this is different from an arrest warrant per se, as in this case, my document says the man was first taken to the Attorney General's Office to undergo an interrogation, and then "se le ordenó su aprehensión" (so, an arrest warrant was issued against him, from what I understand).
I haven't been able to find the English equivalent in any of my glossaries or dictionaries.
Thanks!

Order to Produce Prisoner
The claimant [defendant] has made application to me, on affidavit, for an order under Section 57 of the County Courts Act 1984, to bring before this court who it is said is detained as a prisoner in your custody, to be examined as a witness on his behalf in the above action.

What is an Order to produce? And what does it mean for a federal inmate?
An OTP is a judge's order to the corrections department to transport the prisoner to that judge's courthouse and appear before the judge.

defendant was transferred between federal and New Jersey custody via a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum or an order to produce. That writ is "used in criminal cases to bring before a court a prisoner to be tried on charges other than those for which the prisoner is currently being confined." Black's Law Dictionary 715 (7th ed.1999). Furthermore, although orders equivalent to an order to produce, such as writs of habeas corpus ad prosequendum, qualify as the required "written request for temporary custody," they do not constitute a detainer. United States v. Mauro, 436 U.S. 340, 360-61, 98 S.Ct. 1834, 1847-48, 56 L.Ed.2d 329, 347 (1978) ("[W]hen [Congress] used the word `detainer,' it meant something quite different from a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum ....

After Robert’s insistance (thank you, Robert), I have come up with an alternative solution: order of detainment, detainment order. I think it’s good to have a term that is self-sufficient, i.e., a term that needs no outside context to be fully understood. However, for the context at hand, I would still use order to produce since it the person was taken from the airport, where it popped up that he had an orden de conducción, to the ministerio público to give a statement and was later arrested.
With this solution, we should bear in mind that to detain someone is not to arrest someone. We should also bear in mind that the word “detainer” should be avoided for this particular context since it means, usually, a request (but sometimes, an order) to hold someone that is already in custody so that the requesting party may come and take custody of that person.
Black’s Law Dictionary
detainer. 1. The action of detaining, withholding, or keeping something in one's custody. 2. The confinement of a person in custody. 3. A detainer writ authorizing a prison official to continue holding a prisoner in custody. 4. A person who detains someone or something.

Yes, it is to produce the person before the court. However, what is commonly said in the criminal-justice arena is "to produce the body." My guess is it comes from Habeas Corpus.

Comment: "Thank you all! This has been most informative. I'm not a legal expert, AT ALL, and this was a news article on political issues that I had to get out the same day. In the end, I resorted to an explanatory phrase: "was taken to the Attorney General's Office to undergo an interrogation." It was all I could do with the time I had; these translations are just gists to let US Emb clients be on top of local news... I still want to know if there is a "more proper" way to say this in Panama, but I don't know any lawyers in Panama who are also translators!"

interrogation warrant
If you're unable to find the technical term in the end, might as well translate it for its meaning.

: but "interrogation" is not the exact meaning; I agree that it may be implied, but what if the person is "produced" and a decision is made not to interrogate him/her?

When I first read the meaning of writ of body attachment <a href="https://definitions.uslegal.com/b/body-attachment/">... I said, "that's it." But after reading to the end of it and then <a href="http://www.madisoncounty.in.gov/Notice_Local_Rule_Amend_Writ... I think it's close. The thing I don't like is that it carries a negative connotation (found in contempt), but "order to produce" carries the connotation that the person is imprisoned. Apply both terms to the queried context and the former connotation could still be presumed (in contempt) while the latter connotation is discarded by the context of the person being picked up at the airport.
Feel free to put down your coffee mug for a minute and let me know what you think.
Nonetheless, I have provided another term in my answer that may pursuade you. Let me know if it passes muster.
I just feel that "order to produce" might be a little misleading, given its meaning in the US system. What do you think?
It is not a bench warrant because the person is not being arrested. It is not a subpoena or even an order to appear because the order is not addressed to the person who is being sought.
Instead, all authorities are put on notice not to arrest the person being sought but to produce this person. There is an implicit part in Spanish that is missing in English (but I don't think it's necessary to translate), which is that in order to produce the person you must "detain" him, not arrest him.
I've been having a look at this and, in the case of Panama, an "orden de conducción" is given when a person, be they a suspect or a witness, has been summoned but failed to appear.
Artículo 320. Entrevista ante el agente investigador. Toda persona requerida por el Ministerio Público durante la investigación estará obligada a comparecer y a decir la verdad de cuanto conozca y le sea preguntado.
Si la persona citada no compareciera sin justa causa, se podrá ordenar su conducción. La restricción de libertad no puede prolongarse más allá de la duración de la diligencia.

So it seems to be a kind of detention, but only to bring the person before the authorities to answer questions, and only for as long as that procedure might take.
The closest match I can find is a "bench warrant" (suspect) or a "subpoena" (witness), but these only work if the order is given by a court, not by the AG's office.
