Sir Wyn Williams will release the initial part of his inquiry report regarding the Post Office IT scandal, which centers on compensation and the human consequences faced by victims. The faulty Horizon computer system wrongfully implicated thousands of sub-postmasters, leading to over 900 prosecutions and 236 prison sentences, marking a significant miscarriage of justice. Victims provided evidence highlighting their losses, including businesses and homes, and there is anticipation for the report's findings on their treatment and compensation schemes, as accountability remains pending until the subsequent report is published.
Sir Wyn Williams will publish the first part of his final report, focusing on compensation and the human impact of the scandal, which affected thousands of sub-postmasters.
More than 900 people were prosecuted and 236 were sent to prison in what is believed to be one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in UK history.
Dozens of sub-postmasters gave evidence too - many who had lost their businesses, their homes and some who served prison sentences due to the Horizon system's failures.
Sir Wyn's findings on their treatment will surely be damning given everything he has heard since the inquiry began in 2022.
