I see that "The Ice Maiden" lives across the valley from me, over by there, in a £800k house (essential information that).

Apparently it's "Neath, Swansea" according to one rag.

The judge, Peter Fraser, writes that Richard's career had actually started in the Royal Air Force, where he joined in 1976 and left in 1989. During his time there, he worked as an avionics engineer. His responsibilities included working on mainframe computer systems, the software development team and even on aircraft control and attack systems.

Afterwards, he worked in various development and support roles .......

Good to see the Mirror are upping their reporting standards.

Fujitsu apologies for Horizon.

only because they couldn’t set their lawyers on the hearing committee.

The fight needs to get to Japan. Their business ethics are such that the company will be seriously dishonoured if they catch any blame for this mess, and that can have serious repercussions in their business world and relationships.

Fujitsu global boss was at the WEF yesterday and was collared. So this is likely to happen.
Fujitsu finally says sorry: Global boss of Japanese tech giant apologises for Post Office prosecutions as Europe chief tells MPs it was an 'appalling miscarriage of justice' and accepts the company has a 'moral obligation' to compensate victims | Daily Mail Online


I can see them matching the PO compensation.

The total compensation could get close to a billion (£1m each for 900 individuals). Fujitsu can afford half of that. The PO less so, but hopefully they can clawback remuneration (or at the very least threaten it such that nobody dare repeat this travesty).

Well charge the big bosses of fraud & perverting the cause of justice (according to the cop this morning) I suspect demanding money with menaces/extortion could be on the cards. Then freeze their assets will send the right messages.

There have long been suspicions that Horizon was deeply flawed (read The Register & computer weekly) and they did nothing. I have had senior managers approach me saying "something here doesn't look right, can we find out why?" we were just losing money due to incompetence (on a site we had adopted) not jailing & bankrupting employees.

absolutely.

And also. The books must have been cooked to balance after the magic appearing/disappearing money didn't show up elsewhere. So there must be fraud/criminality somewhere.
