Post Office Horizon Scandal Trials Delayed Until 2027

Criminal trials related to the Post Office Horizon scandal, involving faulty software and wrongful prosecutions, won't begin before 2027.

The extensive police investigation, Operation Olympos, involves numerous officers examining thousands of documents and interviewing suspects.

Hundreds of sub-postmasters were wrongly accused of theft due to errors in the Horizon system, resulting in significant personal hardships.

This delay, almost 30 years after initial concerns, emphasizes the complexity and scale of the ongoing investigation and legal proceedings.
