Concealment means hiding or helping to hide a person who you know is being prosecuted or convicted of a crime. It is therefore required that the person being hidden is wanted for a crime, which is the most serious category of crime. To be a crime, the crime must be punishable by a minimum sentence of 5 years' imprisonment. Hiding is not punishable if committed by a parent, child, sibling, relative or spouse. It is not only the concealment of a person who has committed a crime or is suspected of having committed a crime that is punishable. Hiding the corpse of someone who has been killed or has died as a result of violence is also a criminal offence.
