Sažetak
This paper sets out the amendments to the Criminal Code, made through the Sixth Amendment to the Criminal Code of July 2021. As this amendment introduces the notion of virtual currencies in the Criminal Code for the first time, as well as the criminal offence of misuse of sexually explicit footage, and additionally protects the relationship of trust and vulnerable persons through changes in certain criminal offences, and the conditions for imposing security measures, a critical cross-section of the most important amendments is provided. In addition, the paper provides a systematisation of the amendments and offers an interpretation of certain terms with an emphasis on what the repressive apparatus must pay attention to in order to fulfil the purpose of these amendments.
