Post Office Investigator DENIES Criminal Case Witness Statement

Post Office Investigator DENIES the Criminal Case Witness Statement submitted by the Post Office in the prosecution of a subpostmaster in 2013 telling the Post Office Inquiry that it was written for him by legal firm Cartwright King.

In another damning revelation he says 'very similar' statements were provided by Cartwright King to other members of security team to put their name to and sign espousing the integrity and robustness of the Horizon system and saying that they weren't aware of any issues with the operation of the Horizon system and, whilst they would co-operate with a review of the system, they wanted to make clear this was not an admission of any issues with the Fujitsu Horizon system.

Stephen Bradshaw confirms to us that he didn't have the pre-requisite technical knowledge to make such judgements and was instructed to include these lines in his witness statement.

He opines that on reflection at the Post Office Inquiry he would now include a line in the statement that these were not his own words and may likely not agree to provide such a witness statement at all now.
