Concealment of a corpse is a criminal offense under the Italian legal system, punished under Article 412 of the Italian Penal Code and classified among crimes against piety for the deceased because it violates the common feeling of respect owed to human remains. It is legally distinct from the separate Italian offense of suppression of a corpse, and a conviction can carry a prison sentence of up to three years, in addition to any increased penalty imposed for the underlying crime that led to the concealment.
