Landmark day for victims as initial findings expected
Tuesday, the post office IT scandal for the victims of justice on the long road will mark another large milestone.
President of the investigation – Sir Wyn Williams – will focus on the human influence of compensation and scandal, publish the first part of his last report.
Thousands of submaster was incorrectly accused of financial losses from the faulty horizon computer system developed by Fujitsu of the post office.
More than 900 people were prosecuted and 236 of them were imprisoned from what was believed to be one of the largest miscarriages in the history of England.
Sir Wyn put these victims at the center of the work of the investigation, which has grilled most of those who have had technical evidence for decades and have a role in ruining so many lives.
Duzines sub -mail manager gave evidence – many of them were sentenced to imprisonment.
Sir Wyn’s findings on his treatment will certainly be damaged, given everything he has heard since the investigation began in 2022.
The investigation was almost box office monitoring – on Youtube, more than 20 million views on Youtube, and people who closely follow the post office.
However, it will take months before learning who Sir Wyn will be Pointing the finger of the accusation.
This means that in the second part of the report, the accountability is still far away.
At one point, Sir Wyn admitted that he had extended the reference conditions on the subject “perhaps beyond Breaking Point” and received great interest for the victims.
He held four separate hearings on the arrangement and published an intermediate report in 2023 and met. Various schemes “A patchwork quilt with a few holes in it”.
The victims and the legal representatives who are still struggling to secure the final payments will want to see what their consequences are on compensation and whether they live until the mantra to be complete and fair.
They hope their suggestions will result in more action.
Nevertheless, you may be wondering why we got the first part of the final report.
Sir Wyn knows how much compensation is against most victims, and therefore wants to publish his suggestions on the subject as soon as possible.
“This is a reasonable thing I am as willing as possible,” he said to the investigation last year.
However, as a result, determine what the second part – and who will be accused – does not come out soon.
This second report may not be published until 2026, given the volume and complexity of the evidence and the need to respond to criticized.
As for justice, Any criminal case may not start until 2028. Police investigating the scandal confirmed that the files would not be given to prosecutors until the final investigation report was published last month.
After waiting for years, even after the first part of Sir Wyn is published, the long way to the Alt Postmasters will continue to justice.
