I mean, look at how they framed the article...that this is a scandal because of Brexit...because Brexit is designed to hide corruption.
Even though the wheels started turning on all of this a few years ago. Even though the EU themselves only banned things in the last year.
Rather than jumping into the actual story, they used it to push an entirely unrelated political narrative. Worse still, a lot of folks are going to see those first two paragraphs and not read the rest of the article.
