Post Office Scandal Broadens as Inquiry Uncovers Systemic Issues Beyond Horizon Software

The ongoing inquiry into the Post Office scandal reveals deeper systemic problems, implicating third-party systems and internal manipulations beyond the previously known Horizon software issues.

The Post Office scandal extends beyond the Horizon software, involving third-party systems like ATMs and banking services, which have also contributed to wrongful sub-postmaster convictions.
Evidence suggests that senior Post Office officials manipulated investigations and employed euphemistic language to downplay the severity of Horizon system bugs.
An independent report from 2013, not publicly disclosed at the time, highlighted multiple systemic issues within the Post Office, suggesting a broader scope of accountability.
Sub-postmasters who suffered wrongful convictions due to these systemic failures are still fighting for exoneration and compensation, despite new legislation aimed at addressing past wrongs.
The inquiry continues to uncover the extent of the scandal, with former executives and legal counsel testifying about the deliberate obfuscation and manipulation of critical information.
