ARTICLE 16
SURRENDER OF PROPERTY
(1)
To the
extent permitted under its law, the
requested Party may seize and surrender to the
requesting Party all property (including sums of money)
found in the possession of the fugitive offender at the
time of his arrest which may serve as proof of the
offence in respect of which surrender is granted.
(2)
If the property in question is liable to seizure or
confiscation within the jurisdiction of the requested
Party the latter may, in connection with pending
proceedings, temporarily retain it or hand it over on
condition it is returned.
(3) These provisions shall not prejudice the rights of
the requested Party or of any person other than the
person sought. When such rights exist the property
shall on request be returned to the requested Party
without charge as soon as possible after the end of the
proceedings.
