Its been going on for decades, at all levels within the EU from political bodies to farming communities, from the wine and butter mountain days, to eg the movement of animals on farms with lands that straddle across borders, to the fiddling of business expenses and allowances and in this case outright bribes.
This is just another manifestation of the lack of control, accountability, governance and review of EU spending. Everyone is on the 'pigs back' and it's the tax payer and end consumer that foots the bill, the true scale of the misappropriation and misapplication and fraud will dwarf anything the UK has done with regard to PPE.
