The boss of Fujitsu in Japan had gone to talk to the UK ambassador and threatened that the UK branch would close down if Horizon wasn't quickly accepted (despite being a train wreck and everybody involved being aware of it).
The UK government bent over to "save jobs".
It's a story of widespread corruption and it seems most people will get away with it by claiming stuff like "I was told to trust the system, I had no reason not to" when their job was to talk to desperate people whose money kept disappearing and they kept to tell them "pay up or go to jail".
A top manager returned 1400£ of his huge bonus so the conscience is clean.

If there was a political party donor involved in this story it would be more believable.
