AIDING IN CRIME IN CARRYING OUT OCCUPATION AND UNDERTAKING EVERYDAY TASKS

External image of an action aiding a criminal offense often does not indicate its criminal character. Thus, for example, lending blade to a friend can pose help in preparing a holiday lunch, as well as assistance in the commission of a crime. Despite the often ambiguous image of similar behaviors, in the jurisprudence so far there was no dilemma that value-neutral acts may constitute this type of complicity in crime. In recent decades, however, there has been a vivid discussion whether the actions undertaken in the framework of a profession may constitute aiding in the commission of a crime. In this sense, it’s been written a number of papers with more or less the original proposals to resolve the issue of criminality of these actions. The author considers the most important understandings on this issue, taking the view that with regard to punishment of actions undertaken in the exercise of professions one should keep the same approach as in other situations, where one aids another in crime independently of the professional activity.
