Former Post Office boss Paula Vennells makes tearful admission of ‘incorrect evidence’ in scandal inquiry

Paula Vennells, chief executive of Post Office Ltd., arrives for a Brexit discussion with U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May in 2018.

Former Post Office boss Paula Vennells has reportedly admitted that her evidence from 2012 was incorrect in the long-running Post Office Scandal Inquiry.
