Post Office Capture scandal: Sir Alan Bates calls for those responsible for wrongful convictions to be 'brought to account'
UNITED KINGDOM, JUN 19 – The scheme will initially cover 150 postmasters affected by faulty Capture software, offering up to £10,000 in interim payments amid ongoing calls for exoneration and justice.
- The Government plans to open a compensation scheme this autumn for Post Office victims affected by faulty Capture software.
- This follows decades of wrongful convictions and hardships caused by Capture, which led to sub-postmasters being prosecuted and sacked.
- Key voices like Sir Alan Bates and Steve Lewis call for swift payments, blanket exonerations, and an independent body to handle claims apart from the Post Office.
- Officials confirm the Post Office will provide relevant data for the scheme despite concerns that it cannot be trusted to administer claims accurately.
- The scheme aims to prevent delays seen in previous Horizon scandal compensations and suggests ongoing challenges in achieving justice for all victims.
