"It's disgusting, two decades on, we're finding new documents," says wrongly-convicted former subpostmaster Lee Castleton. He spoke out after Channel 4 News obtained a secret 2006 contract between the Post Office and Fujitsu which, despite decades of denial, shows the organisations were able to centrally alter subpostmaster accounts. The...

#PostOfficeScandal Tonight on Channel 4 News with Jackie Long there was an exclusive report by alex thomson & Nanette van der Laan that revealed for the first time a secret contract between Post Office and Fujitsu UK For years, the Post Office and Fujitsu covered up the bugs in their faulty Horizon computer software, blaming the subpostmasters using it. Thousands had their lives ruined. Some took their own lives. Now Channel 4 News has obtained a 2006 contract between the two companies – overlooked despite being uploaded to the Post Office Inquiry’s website – which a forensic accountant who investigated the Horizon scandal has described as “dynamite”. Featuring Tracy Felstead Lee Castleton OBE Ron Warmington Liam Byrne MP The fact Post Office denied remote access was possible until days before the High Court 2nd trial in 2019 when there was a contract that was signed in 2006, shows just how far they were prepared to go to keep this document out of the public domain. For it to come to light almost 20 years after it was first signed is a disgrace. It was not disclosed to the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry so that witnesses could be cross examined on it. Now it will be up to Business and Trade Committee and its Chair Liam Byrne MP to uncover who knew what and when, why it wasn’t disclosed and when Fujitsu are going to start contributing to the colossal financial redress bill estimated to be £1.6 billion. At the moment it is all being carried by the taxpayer.

POST OFFICE LAWYER WHO REFUSED TO TESTIFY NOW FACES HER OWN TRIBUNAL Jane MacLeod ran the Post Office legal department from 2015 to 2019. That is the exact window when the organisation was busy defending itself against the subpostmasters it had already destroyed. In 2024 the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry asked her to come and explain herself. She said no. She offered a written statement instead and argued too much time had passed for her memory to matter. Inquiry chair Sir Wyn Williams offered to pay her flights and hotel from Australia where she now lives. She still refused, in person or by video link. He admitted publicly that forcing her back would need a criminal conviction and possibly extradition. That process would outlast most subpostmasters patience for justice. So she walked. Now the Solicitors Regulation Authority SRA has referred her to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. The allegation covers April to July 2024, when she failed to cooperate fully with the Inquiry. She is also named as a significant individual in the Metropolitan Police investigation Operation Olympos. When BBC cameras doorstepped her about documents suggesting the Post Office lied about knowing Horizon was faulty, her answer was no comment. A strong move from someone who used to run a legal team built on telling the public the opposite. Over 900 subpostmasters were wrongly prosecuted between 1999 and 2009 because of broken Fujitsu software. Lives and marriages were wrecked while people in her position drafted the legal advice that kept the lie standing. A second solicitor, Nick Gould, has also been referred, over how he charged exonerated subpostmistresses for help after their convictions were quashed. dodging a public inquiry from the other side of the planet while your victims are still waiting for compensation says plenty on its own.
