Fujitsu, the company at the heart of the UK’s most notorious IT scandal, is still landing massive government contracts—including a £61 million HMRC tax system deal—despite never paying a penny to the hundreds of sub-postmasters wrongly prosecuted. Even as new Chancellor John Healey pledged to prioritize British businesses, Fujitsu, a Japanese firm, remains eligible for £15 billion in public contracts. The Horizon scandal, which devastated lives from 1999 to 2015, saw victims like Lee Castleton—who went bankrupt—demand justice, while Fujitsu claims to be holding off on new bids until the inquiry ends in September. Yet, the government is moving forward, leaving victims and critics furious that taxpayers are funding Fujitsu’s recovery while justice remains out of reach.
