Section 13: Seizure and surrender of property.

(1) A police officer who on a warrant under section 7 of this Act or provisional warrant under section 8 of this Act arrests a fugitive criminal accused of an extradition offence, may seize and detain any property found in the possession of the fugitive at the time of the arrest which appears to him to be reasonably required as evidence for the purpose of proving that the fugitive committed the offence of which he is accused.
(2) Any property seized under subsection (1) of this section shall, if an order for the surrender of the fugitive is made under section 10 (2) of this Act, be handed over to such person as the Attorney-General may direct, being a person who in his opinion is duly authorised by the country obtaining the surrender to receive it.
(3) Nothing in this section shall prejudice any rights which any person may have in any property which falls to be handed over under this section; and where any such rights exist, the property shall not be handed over under this section except on condition that the country obtaining the surrender of the fugitive criminal in question shall return it as soon as may be after the trial of the fugitive.
