Fujitsu — the Japanese tech firm behind the faulty Horizon accounting software at the centre of the British Post Office scandal — has been urged to take accountability for the defective tech that may have led to the wrongful prosecution of hundreds of staff.
The IT giant is now the subject of an inquiry to decide whether it is culpable for the scandal that led to the prosecution of more than 700 Post Office staff, accused of stealing after Horizon showed shortfalls in their branches’ accounts.
