Post Office lied and threatened BBC over Horizon whistleblower
The firm smeared postmasters in a failed bid to suppress evidence of their innocence, the BBC reveals.
Hasnain says:
Looking forward to when I can watch the documentary. From what I’ve read though this has been a massive shitshow with people placing too much trust in software and it causing so much real world harm.
“The Post Office knew in 2015 that there were bugs and errors in Horizon. It knew that remote access was possible. And it knew some of its convictions were unsafe.
The evidence in Panorama's 2015 film was there for the government to see too.
But it took several trials, more than 90 overturned convictions and a TV drama for the Post Office scandal to get the attention it has long deserved.”
