22: Ep 22 - Dave the Destroyer

Dave McDonnell becomes the most important witness of the second phase of the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry so far by explaining in detail exactly how the Horizon system did not and would not work, how he told his bosses at Fujitsu and how they ignored his advice, sidelined him and rolled out a financial system into the Post Office estate, leaving it to wreak havoc on Subpostmasters. Nick and Rebecca trawl through two days of pretty intense evidence to bring you the audio highlights.

Om Podcasten

Journalists Rebecca Thomson and Nick Wallis cover the ongoing Post Office Horizon IT scandal which led to the most widespread miscarriage of justice in UK legal history. Hundreds of people were wrongly criminalised, thousands lost money and when the Post Office and government realised what they had been doing, they covered it up. To date, no one has been held accountable. Made with thanks to Whistledown for their production support.
