26 Mayıs 2026The Guardian

The police inquiry into the Post Office Horizon IT scandal is at risk of a five-year delay due to funding shortages. Metropolitan police commander Stephen Clayman has indicated that the budget may need to reach £19.3 million and that the number of investigators must nearly double to 210 to meet upcoming deadlines.
Without additional resources, the inquiry's timeline could extend significantly.
The Post Office Horizon IT scandal involved wrongful prosecutions of sub-postmasters due to faults in the Horizon IT system, leading to significant personal and financial repercussions for many individuals. The inquiry aims to uncover the extent of the failures and hold accountable those responsible for the injustices.
The potential delay in the Post Office Horizon inquiry raises serious concerns about accountability and justice for those affected by the scandal. The need for increased funding and personnel highlights the challenges law enforcement faces in addressing complex cases, particularly those involving systemic failures.
