"Fujitsu to Compensate UK Postal Workers for Horizon IT System Scandal"

TL;DR Summary
Fujitsu's European director acknowledges the company's "moral obligation" to compensate UK Post Office sub-postmasters who were falsely accused of theft and fraud due to glitches in Fujitsu's Horizon IT system. Over 2,700 sub-postmasters have received compensation, but many feel it's insufficient and believe Fujitsu should also contribute. A public inquiry is ongoing to determine responsibility, and the government has described the convictions as a miscarriage of justice. The scandal has prompted public outrage, leading to legislative action to quash convictions, and both Fujitsu and the Post Office have apologized to victims.
