In a revelatory inquiry, it was found that the UK Post Office scandal has led to suicides, bankruptcies, and severe illness among the falsely accused. From 2000-2013, managers were wrongfully targeted due to errors in the Post Office's IT systems.

Wyn Williams, the inquiry chair, reported that executives were aware of these potential errors yet continued to pursue subpostmasters. The faulty system provided by Fujitsu led to about 1,000 wrongful convictions.

With public uproar amplified by a TV drama, there is now a push for comprehensive compensation as the report reveals the harrowing extent of the miscarriage of justice.
