Post Office scandal: What the Horizon saga is all about
The government is considering measures to clear the names of hundreds of sub-postmasters convicted in the Post Office Horizon scandal, with many victims still fighting to have their convictions overturned. Between 1999 and 2015, the Post Office prosecuted 736 sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses - an average of one a week - based on information from a recently installed computer system called Horizon. Horizon was introduced into the Post Office network from 1999. The Post Office says it has not undertaken any private prosecutions related to Horizon since 2015. Some 54 cases have resulted in convictions being upheld, people being refused permission to appeal, or people withdrawing from the process, according to the Post Office.
