Post Office Scandal Investigation Expands with 80 Detectives

Victims face long wait for justice as police probe into wrongful prosecutions continues

The investigation will examine potential offences of perjury and perverting the course of justice by Post Office and Fujitsu executives.
A public inquiry is set to conclude hearings by the end of September, with a final report expected in late 2025.
Police will not seek charging decisions from the Crown Prosecution Service until after the public inquiry concludes.
Victims, including over 900 sub-postmasters wrongfully prosecuted, may have to wait until 2026 for any charges to be brought.
The government has been asked for a £6.75 million grant to fund the expanded investigation.
