Post Office Scandal

Under new legislation, affected sub-postmasters will receive compensation of £600,000.

A senior executive with Fujitsu, the Japanese company that produced the Post Office’s software, has apologised to postmasters who were wrongly prosecuted.

The public inquiry into the Horizon scandal has resumed with a Post Office investigator being questioned about whether he bullied sub-postmasters.

More than 700 Post Office workers were wrongly accused in the Horizon IT scandal, that saw some wrongfully convicted and sent to prison.
