TL;DR Summary

Pressure is mounting on Japan's Fujitsu to pay up to £1 billion in compensation for its role in the UK Post Office scandal, described as one of the worst miscarriages of justice in British history. The scandal involves the faulty Horizon computer software developed by Fujitsu, which led to over 700 postmasters being wrongfully convicted of false accounting and theft. The British government has paid out £138 million in compensation and is calling for Fujitsu to contribute, while there are growing demands for the company to be barred from future government contracts in the UK.
