Investigations Underway in Post Office Horizon IT Scandal as Dozens Face Scrutiny
An extensive investigation is underway into the Post Office Horizon IT scandal, with police examining potential crimes involving employees from the Post Office, Fujitsu, and external lawyers. Although ‘dozens’ of suspects are being considered, trials are not anticipated to start until 2027.
