(1)

When a request for extradition is granted, the Requested State shall, so far as its law allows, hand over to the Requesting State all articles (including sums of money):

(a)

which may serve as evidence of the offence; or

(b)

which have been acquired by the person sought as a result of the offence and are in his possession.

(2)

If the articles in question are liable to seizure or confiscation in the territory of the Requested State the latter may, in connection with pending proceedings, temporarily retain them or hand them over on condition that they are returned.

(3)

These provisions shall not prejudice the rights of the Requested State or of any person other than the person sought. When these rights exist the articles shall on request be returned to the Requested State without charge as soon as possible after the end of the proceedings.
