New secret tape reveals top Post Office lawyer was warned of 'wrongful' convictions decade ago

A secret recording obtained by ITV News reveals the Post Officeā€™s most senior lawyer was warned by independent investigators more than a decade ago that it may have misled the courts and pressured sub-postmasters into ā€œwrongful and unsafeā€ guilty pleas.

The recording was of a meeting held between the Post Officeā€™s former General Counsel Chris Aujard and Second Sight forensic accountants Ian Henderson and Ron Warmington in December 2013.

It shows the two men presented a damning assessment of the Post Officeā€™s conduct in its investigations and prosecutions of sub-postmasters, who they found were denied the right to defend themselves and forced into ā€œcourtroom step dealsā€ with little choice but to plead guilty.

Fingers crossed Ms Hall can find some peace as I'm quite sure no amount of money could truly compensate her for what she has been wrongly put through

Chris Aujard needs to answer to a court for his role in this travesty of justice.

Why isn't there a criminal investigation of the Post Office and it's senior management. If you walk out of Tesco with unpaid shopping - you can't say, 'Oh let's have a public inquiry'. So why can the 'Post Office' steal, libel and commit perjury and then cover up' and say 'lets have an expensive public inquiry'. All the sub-postmasters should sue the Post Office in a class action for billions of Ā£s compensation and demand that their legal fees are paid in advance by demanding that the Govt force the Post Office to pay.

The "investigators" who didn't investigate, but threatened and bullied their way to convictions are as much part of the problem as the hierarchy. The prosecutions were largely based on their 'findings'. From top to bottom all were complicit through gross incompetence, criminal negligence and coverups. Despicable behavior from all concerned.

All of these management went on to earn high salaries whilst the innocent postmaster have had their lives ruined and are only being offered a pittance in return.

Prison for those individuals responsible, massive fines to Fujitsu to give proper compensation to those affected, free from legal fees. This should not be complicated.

So, in view of this revelation. Will all those who knew these sub-postmasters were innocent and didn't come forward, will they be charged and sentenced? ALL THOSE RESPONSIBLE must be criminally charged, convicted (obviously by a court) then sentenced. This is corruption at every turn!

I spent many years as a software development project manager. There is no f'ing way that the Fujitsu software devs and management didn't know about this. They had access to the source code and all the transactions and they must have lied. The only other possible explanation is they didn't have an f'ing clue how their software worked.

Oh we have a lot of lawyers who should lose their license to practiceā€¦and some who should go behind bars for wrongful conviction and destruction of reputation.

Vennells should be in custody for what she has done but also for her own personal safety, she could be a flight or suicide risk!
