In matters of passive extradition, pursuant to Article 20(a) and (b) of the Italy–Argentina Extradition Convention, signed in Rome on 9 December 1987 and ratified and implemented by Law No. 219 of 19 February 1992, the seizure of assets to be surrendered to the requesting State presupposes that such assets are connected to the offence underlying the extradition request, in that they constitute either means of evidence or proceeds thereof. The latter are to be understood, in accordance with Article 714(1) of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, as the corpus delicti or items pertaining to the offence.
