Postmasters branded crooks saw their convictions quashed yesterday after one of Britain’s biggest miscarriages of justice.
In a victory for the Daily Mail, six ex-Post Office staff became the first victims of the Horizon IT scandal to have their sentences formally overturned.
They said the decision finally lets them ‘hold their heads high’.
Between 1999 and 2015, hundreds of postmasters were prosecuted for false accounting, fraud and theft after money appeared to go missing from their branch accounts.

Ministers refusing to release crucial Post Office Horizon scandal evidence
At least 900 former sub-postmasters were prosecuted for theft, fraud and false accounting

Ministers are refusing to force the release of a document held by the state-owned Post Office that campaigners believe will show that it misled Parliament over evidence that hundreds of staff convictions for theft could be unsafe.
At least 900 former sub-postmasters were prosecuted for theft, fraud and false accounting, but it later emerged that bugs in a computer system, Horizon, could render the convictions unsafe.
Judges quashed the convictions of six sub-postmasters on Friday after their cases were sent back to the courts by the Criminal Cases Review Commission and the Post Office did not seek to uphold their punishments.
