Secret recordings obbtained by ITV News reveal 'dangerous ground' Post Office was on in Horizon scandal. New recordings reveal investigations into who in the Bracknell building had access to the live data on the Horizon system.
Scotland Yard is under pressure to speed up its inquiry into the Post Office scandal after it emerged the company continued to fight sub-postmasters in court despite knowing its defence was untrue.
Separately, a secretly recorded Post Office meeting in July 2013, attended by then chief executive Paula Vennells , proved management were told Horizon computers could be accessed remotely 'Unless people are brought before a court of law and asked what they knew and why they took such actions, that won't be justice.'
David Enright, another lawyer who represents sub-postmasters, said of the slow pace of the probe: 'We're talking about taking the unprecedented step of quashing convictions of up to 800 people, but not a single person has been prosecuted, let alone convicted, for putting those people in prison.
