"Fujitsu's £95m Deal with Post Office Under Scrutiny Amid Scandal"

TL;DR Summary
The Post Office has paid Fujitsu over £95m to extend the troubled Horizon IT system for two years after a plan to move to Amazon had to be abandoned. The Horizon project, in use for nearly 28 years, has been plagued with difficulties and led to miscarriages of justice for sub-postmasters. The Post Office is still struggling to replace it and has faced challenges in moving it onto the cloud. The costs and delays continue to dog the Horizon project, with the Post Office planning to trial a new system in branches this year.
