The Post Office Horizon IT scandal may lead to criminal trials not starting until 2028, according to Met Cdr Stephen Clayman. The investigation has identified seven suspects, with more potential suspects in view. The public inquiry's final report is expected this year, after which files will be handed to prosecutors. Former sub-postmaster Tim Brentnall expressed victims' desire for accountability, supporting a thorough investigation process.
