Vennells knew prosecution of post office operators was wrong, inquiry told

Former Royal Mail boss Moya Greene says Vennells and top team ‘grossly understated’ Horizon scandal

The former head of Royal Mail has said she believes that Paula Vennells, the ex-chief executive of the Post Office, knew that the prosecution of branch operators was wrong, adding that executives “grossly understated the gravity of the situation” as the Horizon IT scandal unfolded.

Moya Greene, who headed Royal Mail from 2010 to 2018, was Vennells’ boss until the Post Office was split off from Royal Mail Group in 2012.
