Concerned, implicated (8)

I believe the answer is:

involved

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'concerned' is the first definition.
(involving is a kind of concerning)

'implicated' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for involved that I've seen before include "Having a relationship" , "Complex" , "Byzantine" , "Mixed up in, implicated" , "Complicated and concerned with" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
