In a recent revelation, a Fujitsu executive admitted that the company was aware of bugs in its Horizon system from the outset and had informed the Post Office. Despite this knowledge, the Post Office continued to prosecute postmasters. Further details emerged from a Telegraph exclusive interview with a Fujitsu insider, who disclosed that the Horizon system was flawed and that bosses chose to remain silent about the defects. The insider also mentioned that lost modem connections would cause transactions to be duplicated, leading to non-existent shortfalls for postmasters. A former Fujitsu employee, referred to as 'Robin', described witnessing neglectful behavior while working on the Post Office account and expressed the belief that no convictions of subpostmasters should be considered safe due to the system's defects. The whistleblower interview on Planet Normal highlighted a 'conspiracy' of silence by Fujitsu bosses to cover up the Horizon system's shortcomings, which had a significant impact on the Post Office scandal.

Amazing. Fujitsu boss has just said company knew there were bugs in Horizon from early on and told Post Office. But he never appears to have wondered why Post Office kept prosecuting post masters
