Post Office Inquiry – Fujitsu gives evidence

Post Office Inquiry – Fujitsu gives evidence

The Post Office Horizon inquiry is today hearing from Fujitsu employees John Simpkins and Gerald Barnes.

The inquiry, designed to “ensure a public summary of the failings” and learn lessons, began in February 2021 – but a recent ITV drama has thrust the scandal back into the spotlight.

Between 1999 and 2015, more than 900 sub-postmasters and postmistresses were prosecuted for theft and false accounting after money appeared to be missing from their branches.

On Tuesday, Fujitsu Europe’s boss, Paul Patterson, told MPs the firm had a “moral obligation” to contribute to compensation.

The global chief executive of Fujitsu, Takahito Tokita, also apologised, speaking to the BBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland
