According to the Associated Press report on the 6th, after a new documentary about the 20 years it took a British post office manager to clear his grievances was released in the UK, 50 more victims have joined the rights protection team.
In 1999, the Royal Mail installed a new computer accounting system. Subsequently, between 1999 and 2015, the system showed that many branches were missing funds, but the Royal Mail insisted that "the system would not make errors", resulting in more than 700 post office managers being charged with embezzlement of public funds. Managers were forced to pay back money, jailed, and some even committed suicide in anger. One manager said that the unjust case caused him to go bankrupt, his family could not hold up a high position in the local area, and his daughter was bullied by her classmates. It was later confirmed that the funds were not missing, but that there was a system failure.
So far, a total of 93 postal managers have been cleared of their crimes, but many have yet to be rehabilitated, and only 30 have accepted the so-called "final compensation." After the documentary was released, 50 more victims contacted lawyers. A lawyer said, "The number of people coming forward continues to increase, and the public's sympathy has given them the courage to come forward." The British police stated that they will launch continued investigations, not only to rehabilitate those who have been wronged, but also to investigate perjury behind the unjust cases. criminal behavior.
