Attempt

Attempt
Art.34 – (1) Attempt is the execution of a decision to commit an offence, an execution that was interrupted or did not have its effect.

(2) There is also attempt when the occurrence of the offence was not possible due to the insufficiency or the defectiveness of the means used, or due to the fact that while the act was committed, the object was absent of the place where the perpetrator thought it would be.

(3) There is no attempt when the impossibility of occurrence of the offence is because of how the execution was conceived.

Punishment of attempt

Art.35 – (1) Attempt to crime shall always be punished, and attempt to delict shall be punished only when the law provides it.

(2) For natural persons, attempt shall be sanctioned by a penalty immediately inferior to the penalty provided in the law for an offence that did occur, if the law does not provide otherwise.

(3) For legal entities attempt shall be punished by a fine from the special minimum and the special maximum of the fine provided in the law for an offence that did happen, reduced by half, if the law does not provide otherwise. One or more of the complementary penalties can be added to this penalty, except for that of dissolution of the legal entity.
