Post Office Scandal, Fujitsu Horizon Software, Bracknell, Berkshire, UK - 16 Jan 2024
The Fujitsu Head Office in Bracknell, Berkshire. Between the years of 1999 and 2015, the Post Office prosecuted hundreds of sub-postmasters and postmistresses based on Fujitsu's faulty Horizon IT system. A number of them wrongly spent time in prison for committing fraud. The European CEO of Fujitsu in Europe, Paul Patterson, has said the firm has a "moral obligation" to contribute to a redress scheme for Post Office victims and today he has apologised for the company's role in "this appalling miscarriage of justice" during a Commons business select committee hearing
