Paul Patterson, Fujitsu's European boss, has written to the Post Office chief executive expressing serious concerns about the behaviour of the Post Office's investigations team regarding sub-postmasters wrongly convicted due to the faulty Horizon IT system.
A Fujitsu boss has told the Horizon IT inquiry he raised 'serious concerns' about the 'behaviour' of the Post Office investigations team earlier this year. More than 900 sub-postmasters were wrongly prosecuted and received criminal convictions between 1999 and 2015, as Fujitsu 's faulty Horizon IT system made it appear as though money was missing at their branches - with many still awaiting compensation.
'For the investigations team to act in this manner seems to disregard the serious criticisms raised in multiple judicial findings and indeed exhibits a lack of respect to the ongoing inquiry.' Questioned about the contents of the letter, Post Office non-executive director Saf Ismail told the inquiry: 'I think Fujitsu are right in what they are saying. I find it disappointing that this was not discussed at the board.
