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.
