A recent inquiry revealed at least 59 people contemplated suicide due to the Post Office Horizon scandal, which wrongfully accused over a thousand workers. Post Office management ignored known faults in the Horizon software while prosecuting subpostmasters.
The inquiry chairman, retired judge Sir Wyn Williams, stated, "At least 59 people contemplated suicide at various points in time and attributed this to their experiences with Horizon and/or the Post Office."
Post Office bosses should have known Horizon was faulty but maintained the fiction that its data was always accurate when prosecuting subpostmasters, according to the report's key findings.
