They said there is no accusation / proof that they got an unfair advantage, it was because of the reports sucking that they had to clarify, which sometimes took longer because they stalled.
If it gave them zero advantage they wouldn't spend more, though.
They are business, not charities. They don't voluntarily spend extra money for no reason whatsoever.
And if they did nothing wrong, they wouldn't purposely exclude stuff from their reports, or lie about costs.
Where does it say they did it on purpose? It says they omitted information that was relevant. It also says that they complied with requests for the additional information (one of them immediately, the other after a delay, hence bigger fine). It also says they found it that it didn't give them any advantage.
I'd rather trust the article, than a conspiracy theory.
