A senior Post Office executive faces investigation for allegedly instructing staff to destroy evidence linked to the Horizon IT inquiry. The Telegraph has more.
The executive, whose identity is not known, has been suspended since the incident was brought to the organisation’s attention by a whistleblower. …
Rachel Scarrabelotti, a Post Office company secretary, revealed the allegations in one of her six witness statements submitted to the inquiry.
More than 900 sub-postmasters were wrongfully prosecuted as a result of the Horizon scandal, which saw faulty Fujitsu software incorrectly record shortfalls on their accounts. …
In a statement submitted in advance of her appearance at the inquiry, Ms. Scarrabelotti wrote: “A further whistleblowing complaint which I am aware of was included in the August 2024 board update.
“It involved allegations that a senior Post Office member of staff had instructed their team to destroy or conceal material of possible interest to the Inquiry, and that the same individual had engaged in inappropriate behaviour.” …
It is not the first time a Post Office senior figure has been accused of asking for documents to be destroyed.
The inquiry has previously heard that John Scott, Post Office’s former Head of Security, instructed that minutes of meetings regarding concerns about Horizon be “scrapped”.

If the guilty executive has been suspended, then his identity IS known of course. He just has friends in high places.
Indeed – friends who may in some way be involved?
Perish the thought!
There need to be some prosecutions and, if proven, lengthy jail sentences.
Keep hoping. They’ll prosecute all the wrong people. Again. And those poor beggars will be jailed. Again.
What is the point of the “Post Office” now that all the services it used to be in charge of decades ago have been spun off? Local “post offices” are already independent retail businesses, acting as outlets for banks and the Royal Mail and the DSS for benefits.
Jobs, man, JOBS!
How else would I get my ULEZ notification of £90 fines for missing a turning near Heathrow?
By the Royal Mail.

Germany is a dangerous country in which to dissent from the official narrative, as also seen with CJ Hopkins farce of a trial. And they’re the ones who bleat the loudest about protecting democracy.
Vee must purge ze VORLD of all ze ANTI-DEMOKRATIK RACISTS!
What is clear is that Germany never learns from its past
Yes, but it was US who kept Julian Assange in solitary confinement.
Have any/all of the Post Officers been paid compensation? Have any/all of those affected by the blood transfusion scandal been paid compensation?
When will any public body investigate and prevent the bank defunding according to your political beliefs.
When will any veterans and civilians harmed over the Nuclear testing be recognised and compensated?
‘Trust the Science’ will be the defense.
Just invoke the magic word.
All will fall to their knees whimpering in supplication.
Obeying an instruction from an employer to destroy evidence is the equivalent of obeying an order from a military officer to commit a war-crime. The conscientious employee will scan or steal the documents.
Why do investigations take so long in this country.
Even multi-part TV crime drama gets to the culprit quicker!
…and the real-life investigations turn out to the biggest works of fiction
They ruined many a man whilst feeding at the trough. Thew knew that it would mean long sentences for their victims but they did it anyway. I hope the whole of this really comes to light. It is like knowing that your rulers are paedophiles. You won’t stop them raping children but at least they are doing it with the lights switched on.
