Disclosure: Scotland’s Post Office Scandal
A new show investigates how the Post Office’s Horizon scandal ruined lives in Scotland. For more than a decade, Scottish prosecutors took dozens of former postmasters to court based on potentially flawed computer data.
In Scotland’s Post Office Scandal, reporter Mark Daly investigates how the Post Office and Scottish justice system got it so badly wrong in what’s been described as the widest miscarriage of justice in British history.
He meets Scots who were wrongly convicted, lost their livelihoods or were forced into confessing to crimes despite not stealing a penny; while the Post Office, a trusted and treasured national institution, covered up the truth.
