Paula Vennells Deflects Responsibility on Final Day of Post Office Inquiry into Horizon IT Scandal
On the final day of the inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal, former Post Office Chief Executive Paula Vennells stated that she was uninformed about critical details by her senior team and insisted she does not want to blame others. This led to disbelief among affected sub-postmasters, who faced wrongful prosecutions due to IT system errors. The UK government announced it would compensate those affected by losses stemming from the earlier Capture IT system. The inquiry has revealed extensive injustices and has heard testimony from numerous witnesses over the years.
