Post Office Horizon Scandal Inquiry Continues Amid Calls for Accountability

Former CEO Paula Vennells to testify as victims' lawyers demand criminal prosecutions and debate over compensation persists.

The Post Office Horizon scandal, involving the wrongful prosecution of over 900 sub-postmasters due to faulty software, continues to draw attention.
Former Post Office CEO Paula Vennells will give evidence at the inquiry into the scandal, following public outcry and her return of a CBE.
The inquiry has been described as hearing from a 'chorus of cowards' and calls for criminal prosecutions have been made by lawyers for victims.
Compensation totaling £138 million has been paid out, but many victims remain uncompensated, and the government's £600,000 offer is deemed insufficient by some.
The independent inquiry into the scandal is ongoing, with expectations for it to conclude this year, amid discussions on who should fund the payouts.
