Key legal question
Whether the tax authority could require security directly as a sequestration order without a judge under Art. 169-170 LIFD and Art. 272 LP
Extracted holding
Yes. The request for security is by federal law assimilated to a sequestration order and does not require intervention by the sequestration judge.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 170 LIFD expressly assimilates the request for security to a sequestration order; federal law must be applied as written. The later constitutional judicial-review rule did not apply to this pre-2007 decision.
