Post Office Horizon inquiry faces five-year delay without £16.5m funding boost

Over 900 post office operators were wrongly prosecuted and imprisoned; victims have endured 24+ years of financial ruin, reputational damage, and psychological trauma, with some deceased before potential exoneration.

For more than two decades, hundreds of ordinary men and women who ran small post offices across Britain had their lives dismantled by a software error and institutional indifference. A criminal inquiry now exists to hold the architects of that injustice to account — but without £16.5 million in additional funding, the Metropolitan Police warn that justice, already long deferred, may be deferred again by five more years. In the long reckoning of this scandal, money has become the final obstacle between accountability and oblivion.
