Met Police investigate four individuals for potential charges in Post Office scandal

The Metropolitan Police are investigating four individuals for potential criminal charges related to the Post Office Horizon scandal. This follows a public inquiry into the wrongful prosecution of over 900 subpostmasters between 1999 and 2015 due to faulty accounting software. Detectives are examining allegations of fraud, perjury, and perverting the course of justice. While two individuals have been interviewed under caution, no arrests have been made since the investigation began in January 2020. The police expect to identify more suspects as the inquiry continues. The investigation is extensive, involving tens of millions of documents, and may take years to conclude.
