Article 27: Definition of attempt

An attempt to commit a felony or, in the cases provided for by law, a misdemeanour, shall
be punishable if the following conditions are met.

- the perpetrator has started to commit the offence, that is, he or she has committed acts which lead directly to the commission of the offence;

- the perpetrator did not stop his or her act, voluntarily, but was interrupted solely by circumstances beyond his or her control.
