Illicit concealment (5-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cover-up

(Other definitions for cover-up that I've seen before include "Concealment of facts, should be exposed" , "Whitewash" , "Withholding of information" , "An attempt to conceal the truth" , "Conspiracy to conceal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
