Post Office hires ex-police to check its investigators in Horizon scandal
The Post Office has hired investigators, including some ex-police, to look at its own staff's previous work investigating the Horizon scandal. A Post Office spokesperson said that it takes "Any allegations of wrongdoing extremely seriously and investigates through established procedures including the involvement of relevant authorities as appropriate". The Post Office scandal has been described as one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in British legal history. A Post Office spokesperson said: "We are acutely aware of the human cost of the scandal and we are doing all we can to right the wrongs of the past, as far as that is possible."We are looking at specific allegations that have been made during the public inquiry about both current and past employees who may have been involved with the prosecution of former postmasters or sought the repayment of shortfalls caused by previous versions of Horizon under old contracts that previously existed with postmasters. On Sunday, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said he "probably should have said sorry earlier on" in relation to his role in the Post Office scandal.
