"Fujitsu Faces Urgent Talks and Compensation Demands Over Horizon Scandal"

The UK government seeks urgent talks with Fujitsu regarding compensation for sub-postmasters affected by the Post Office Horizon scandal, as an inquiry continues into the faulty software that led to wrongful convictions. Fujitsu's moral obligation to provide compensation has been emphasized, and the government aims to act once all facts are established. The scandal saw hundreds of sub-postmasters wrongly convicted over a 15-year period, and the ongoing inquiry has heard from Fujitsu staff expressing concerns about manipulated audit data used in criminal investigations. The Metropolitan Police has launched a criminal probe, with the investigation expected to continue until at least 2026.
