Would this be an example of Scandal?

The papal gendarmerie and Italian police have foiled a massive potential fraud at the Vatican bank after two men stopped at the gates to the Vatican were found to be carrying a case containing large amounts of forged bearer bonds, Italian police say.
Lt Col Davide Cardia of the financial police said the would-be swindlers, who were wearing business suits, tried to convince Swiss Guards at a Vatican City gate this month that cardinals were expecting them.
Cardia told the Associated Press in a phone interview that the suspects, a middle-aged Dutchman and a US citizen, were detained after rapid checks by Vatican officials showed they had no such appointment nor any connections with the Institute for Religious Works (IOR), the formal name of the bank, which is behind the tiny city-state’s walls and is not open to the public.

Is it true?

No, I think it would have been a scandal if the cardinals WERE expecting them.

If the forgeries were averted, how is that a scandal on the part of the Church?
The would be crooks didn’t appear to be connected with the Vatican in any way, from your snippet.

Ah, I see.
