(b) which has been acquired as a result of the crime and which, at the time of the arrest, is found in the possession of the person claimed or is subsequently discovered.

(2) The property mentioned in paragraph (I) of this Article shall be handed over even if extradition, having been granted, cannot be carried out due to the death, disappearance, or escape of the person claimed.
(3) When the said property is liable to seizure or confiscation in the territory of the Requested State, the latter may, in connection with pending criminal proceedings, temporarily retain it or hand it over on condition that it be returned.
(4) Any right which the Requested State or any State or individual may have acquired in the said property shall be preserved. Where these rights exist, the property shall be returned without charge to the Requested State at its request as soon as possible after the trial.
