The Post Office scandal saw hundreds of sub-postmasters wrongly prosecuted for stealing from their branches
The head of a nationwide operation has announced that "Dozens of people" at the Post Office and Fujitsu are under police investigation.
In a recent update, senior Metropolitan Police officers and victims, including Sir Alan Bates, were informed that officers are reviewing 1.5 million documents and thousands of victims. Commander Stephen Clayman, who is leading Operation Olympos, stated that "dozens" of individuals at the Post Office and Fujitsu are being investigated.
Last month, Sky News reported that four suspects were being investigated for perverting the course of justice and perjury. If the Criminal Prosecution Service determines that the standard of evidence has been met, any potential trial would not take place until at least 2027.
