"Fujitsu Acknowledges 'Moral Obligation' to Compensate Post Office Victims"
Fujitsu Europe's boss admitted the firm's "moral obligation" to compensate sub-postmasters wrongly prosecuted due to faulty IT software, while victims of the scandal faced difficulties in receiving compensation. The Post Office knew about "bugs and errors" in its Horizon accountancy software, leading to more than 900 wrongful prosecutions. Both Fujitsu and Post Office executives frustrated MPs with a lack of answers, delays, and bureaucracy in compensating victims, with only 93 convictions overturned to date. Post Office minister Kevin Hollinrake acknowledged the need to simplify the compensation process and accelerate it, as an ongoing inquiry into the scandal continues.
