Vennells was handed eight case files which she described as 'very disturbing'Paula Vennells was told almost a decade ago that some postmasters had potentially been wrongly convicted, a leaked email and tape have revealed.
Mock-up of the email sent by former Post Office boss Paula Vennells after she received detailed case files of eight subpostmasters that had potentially been wrongly convicted During the call, Mr Warmington said: 'I personally would like to think that in due course you and others would look at some of the applications that have come in. I'd pick what I think are … the ones that tell the common story … that probably would be worth spending an hour reading.'
Other recordings have revealed that the company and Fujitsu knew their faulty computer system could alter sub-postmasters' accounts more than ten years ago, despite denying this for years The shocking injustice was thrown back into the spotlight in the ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office, based on campaigner Alan Bates's bid for justice.
He called it a 'total cover up' and said he hoped Ms Vennells would tell the truth when she appears at the inquiry tomorrow.
