Ex-Fujitsu boss admits Post Office meetings where Horizon discussed

Published On Oct 1, 2024, 6:22 AM

The former head of Fujitsu UK, Michael Keegan, acknowledged having four meetings with the Post Office CEO Paula Vennells regarding the problematic Horizon IT system, contradicting earlier reports that he only met her once. The Horizon software was implicated in the wrongful prosecution of over 900 sub-postmasters for financial discrepancies caused by its flaws. Keegan insists his involvement with the system was strategic and denies direct responsibility for the prosecutions. The inquiry into these matters continues, with the Post Office unable to verify all meeting details between Keegan and Vennells during his tenure.
