Liability for machinations with RNBO sanctions

I read the news that some individuals organized a scheme, promising for a large sum of money to influence the imposition of RNBO sanctions against a certain company, although in reality they could do nothing. I am interested in what exactly the criminal liability is for such actions — that is, when someone promises to influence the decisions of state bodies without any real ability and receives money for it? Is this classified as fraud or does it fall under a separate article of the Criminal Code?
