Government Knew of Halted Post Office Investigation, Horizon Scandal Deepens

A secret investigation into the flawed Horizon IT system was stopped, raising questions about justice for wrongly accused postmasters.

David Cameron's government was aware the Post Office halted a secret investigation into the Horizon IT system, which could have aided wrongly accused postmasters.
The halted investigation had been examining Fujitsu's remote access to sub-postmasters' cash accounts, potentially revealing evidence to support their innocence.
Sub-postmasters were prosecuted and jailed for cash shortfalls caused by the flawed Horizon system, raising questions about a potential conspiracy to pervert justice.
MPs demand to see a note from the former Post Office chair, alleging instructions to delay compensation payments to Horizon scandal victims.
The public inquiry into the Horizon scandal continues, with key figures declining to comment due to the ongoing investigation.
