The Post Office has been embroiled in a significant scandal involving its Horizon IT system, which has led to the prosecution of hundreds of sub-postmasters. Despite being warned of faults in the Horizon system during its initial rollout, the Post Office pursued legal actions against postmasters. The scandal has resulted in the Post Office paying approximately £256.9 million to law firms.
