Fujitsu Criticizes Post Office for 'Victim' Stance in Ongoing Horizon IT Inquiry

Fujitsu's European boss expressed concerns about the Post Office's investigative practices and reliance on flawed Horizon data.

  • Fujitsu's Paul Patterson raised serious concerns about the Post Office's behavior during a City of London Police investigation.
  • Patterson's letter to Post Office CEO Nick Read criticized the company's ongoing enforcement actions against postmasters.
  • The Post Office maintains it no longer uses Horizon data for civil recoveries and does not prosecute subpostmasters independently.
  • Post Office non-executive director Saf Ismail found the CEO's response to Fujitsu's concerns 'disappointing' and indicative of poor oversight.
  • More than 900 subpostmasters were wrongly prosecuted due to the faulty Horizon IT system, with many still awaiting compensation.
