The name of the offence is modified and the reason of that consists in the desired independence of this offence, face with the previous crime.Actus reus of the offence refers only to acts of helping persons who committed crimes and no longer to acts of helping someone to preserve the products or benefits of the crime. The destinations of helping activities are much many in the new Criminal Code, as they were in the former legislation and that helps to improve the meaning of the text.
