"UK Postal Workers Cleared of Fraud in Post Office Scandal"

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced measures to overturn the convictions of over 900 post office branch managers wrongly accused of theft or fraud due to a faulty computer system, with plans to swiftly exonerate and compensate the victims. The scandal, caused by defective accounting software, led to financial ruin, imprisonment, and even suicides among the wrongly accused. A hit TV docudrama and a fraud investigation into the Post Office have brought renewed attention to the victims' battle for justice, with affected postal workers to receive compensation and those whose convictions are overturned entitled to significant payments.
