Post Office Horizon Scandal: Wrongful Convictions Quashed Amid Ongoing Issues

Thousands of sub-postmasters continue to report IT problems as the final phase of the public inquiry begins.

Three former sub-postmasters from Northern Ireland have had their wrongful convictions quashed under new legislation passed in May.
A survey reveals that 92% of post office operators experienced issues with the Horizon IT system in the past year, with many reporting financial discrepancies.
The public inquiry into the Horizon scandal is examining the practices and culture of the Post Office, as well as the effectiveness of compensation schemes.
Nearly half of the applicants to the Horizon Shortfall Scheme expressed dissatisfaction with the compensation process, citing issues with transparency and fairness.
The inquiry will hear testimonies from over 30 witnesses, including former Post Office executives and government officials, with the final phase set to conclude in mid-November.
