Post Office Executive ‘Instructed Staff to Destroy Evidence’ Before Horizon Inquiry

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”.
