This story is mad, if I recall correctly they knew the software was faulty but covered it up and instead ruined the lives of all these employees.

Individuals covered it up. They should serve a lot of time for what they did to a lot of people’s lives. Many innocent people were accused convicted and livelihoods destroyed. Labour really need to look at this once in power. It is a massive disgrace.

Labour was in power for 11 of the 14 years the prosecutions were happening. They ceased in 2013 because one of the Post Office’s lawyers advised that their Fujitsu witness had been committing perjury and couldn’t be used again. Instead of righting the wrongs they just quietly stopped prosecuting.
