Fujitsu 'truly sorry' for role in Post Office prosecutions

The firm which powered the faulty Horizon computer system for the Post Office has admitted it knew there were “bugs and errors”.

Fujitsu executive Paul Patterson said it provided evidence that helped in the prosecutions of sub postmasters for which “we are truly sorry”.

He told the Business and Trade Committee he was “personally appalled” by what had been heard in the inquiry so far, and the firm today was now “quite different to the company in the early 2000s”.
