The Post Office Scandal - Who Knew What, When?

5 Questions On

Available for over a year

Hundreds of sub-postmasters had their lives wrecked by faulty Horizon software. Many were accused of theft or fraud. Some were jailed. Others took their own lives. But an investigation that might have cleared them was scrapped. In this episode of 5 Questions On, the BBC's Economics Correspondent, Andy Verity, explains what he's discovered about an inquiry that established that figures and records of transactions could be tampered with remotely - which was abruptly ditched.
