Europe chief of tech firm embroiled in Horizon IT scandal opens evidence with apology for ‘appalling miscarriage of justice’
Fujitsu’s Europe chief has admitted it is “shameful and appalling” that lawyers defending Post Office operators prosecuted over missing funds were not told of 29 bugs identified as early as 1999 in the system it built.
Evidence was heard on Friday at a public inquiry into the scandal of a reluctance in the Japanese software company to make the Post Office aware of a “known error log” chronicling all the Horizon system’s defects.
