This story just gets worse and worse. Interesting that Sunak only promises to try to overturn convictions and get some kind of financial remuneration for victims, but no discussion about having a investigation into how this structurally happened in the first place and figuring out who needs to be punished for coming up with these incentives in the first place?
- g_p 3y agoI believe this is coming, but (rightly) from the police investigating credible allegations of criminal wrongdoing, rather than from Government intervention. 2x fairly prominent Fujitsu people have been interviewed under caution on suspicion of perjury, and some of the recent revelations from recent testimony in both the parliamentary committee hearing and the public inquiry seem likely to open the door to further such investigations. In terms of internal conduct, the Post Office is now (as of first week of January) apparently under investigation for potential fraud offences. There is some speculation this includes individuals, as well as the entity itself (given many fraudulent actions would be carried out by individual people). I imagine such prosecutions (properly carried out, independent of government actions) may help focus people's memories and also begin to start the process of punishing those individuals concerned, and implicate others in the process.
