Inquiry finds Post Office's culture and faulty software led to wrongful prosecution of over 900 subpostmasters.

The Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry concluded that the Post Office's "malignant culture" and "desire for absolute control" were the primary causes of the prosecution of over 900 subpostmasters between 1999 and 2015. Faulty Horizon accounting software led to the appearance of missing money in subpostmasters' accounts. Despite the government offering compensation to those with quashed convictions, many are still awaiting payouts.
