Paula Vennells names five executives she blames over Post Office scandal

Former boss claims IT executives and legal counsels let her down and tells inquiry she ‘loved the Post Office’

Paula Vennells, the former Post Office CEO, has named five executives who she said were to blame for the Horizon scandal, including a former in-house lawyer who has refused to appear at the public inquiry and a missing IT expert.

During a third day of tearful evidence in front of the inquiry, Vennells denied she had given “craven and self-serving” testimony but readily provided the names of those she claimed had let her down.
