Post Office Knew of Horizon Software Faults, Continued Prosecutions

A damning report reveals the Post Office was aware of Fujitsu's Horizon system flaws but pursued legal actions against subpostmasters, resulting in wrongful convictions.

• A 148-page report from Deloitte, known as the Bramble document, shows the Post Office was informed of Horizon's remote access flaw, contradicting their court claims.
• The Horizon scandal led to the wrongful prosecution of 736 subpostmasters, with some imprisoned due to alleged financial discrepancies caused by the software.
• Calls for a police investigation intensify as evidence of the Post Office's knowledge of Horizon faults comes to light, with a public inquiry ongoing.
• Former CEO Paula Vennells stripped of her CBE for her role in the scandal, as high-profile witnesses prepare to testify in the inquiry next month.
• The Post Office's legal battle against subpostmasters cost £100 million of public money, with claimants receiving minimal compensation after expenses.
