The Legal Boundary of Post-Crime Assistance

Georgian criminal law has no general norm of "accessory after the fact" or "harbouring": every case of assistance after a crime must fit a separately formulated composition. The two norms of this page draw precisely that boundary: Article 376 — failure to report a crime, applicable only to grave and especially grave crimes; and Article 377 — unlawful acts connected with inventoried, seized or confiscation-subject property. Everything else — for example, acquiring property obtained by crime as a separate offence — is governed by other norms, and this distinction is decisive for the defence: incorrect qualification often means multiplying the sanction frame several times over.
