The General Counsel for the UK Post Office has apologised to the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry after teams of lawyers repeatedly failed to disclose a document which contained a racial slur. In May, a Freedom of Information request revealed that the Post Office told its investigators to racially classify postmasters wrongly investigated as part of the Horizon IT scandal. Between 1999 and 2015, 736 sub-postmasters and postmistresses were prosecuted for theft, fraud, and false accounting in Post Office branches. However, they had done nothing wrong, and the fault was with the new Horizon accounting system. In 2020, the UK Government initiated the inquiry into the most widespread miscarriage of justice in British history. Report by Jonesia.
