Mon, 01 Dec 2025 Police consider corporate manslaughter charges in Post Office scandal

The move comes as police continue to investigate what has been called the UK's most widespread miscarriage of justice.

* Police investigating the Post Office Horizon IT scandal now consider corporate manslaughter charges
* 8 suspects have been identified, with 5 interviews conducted under caution and 53 persons of interest
* Investigation currently focuses on perjury and perverting the course of justice, but corporate manslaughter is being considered as well
* More than 900 sub-postmasters were prosecuted, some went to prison, and some died while waiting for justice
* Former sub-postmasters who signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are encouraged to come forward as they will no longer be enforced
* Criminal trials may not take place until 2028 due to ongoing deal-making with unions and approval process.
