A draft report uncovered by the BBC shows the Post Office spent £100m fighting sub-postmasters in court despite knowing its defence was untrue.

The document reveals the Post Office was shown evidence by 2017 that losses could be due to errors in the Horizon IT system or remote tampering.

But it kept arguing in the Bates v Post Office Ltd case that theft or mistakes by sub-postmasters must be to blame.

Fraud investigator Ron Warmington told the BBC that the draft report is "unbelievably damning".

This report shows sub-postmasters' accounts were meddled with "on an industrial scale", he said.

Patrick Green KC, the lead barrister for the sub-postmasters in the Bates case, said the BBC's findings were "absolutely shocking". After reading the report, he added: "I don't think the case should have happened."

The Post Office said it would be "inappropriate" to comment.

What would be appropriate is an apology for their lies, compensation for the innocent victims.

The worse part is the Post Office used £100 million of tax payer money claiming innocent people were guilty, even when it knew they weren't.
