Bombshell Post Office document revealed Capture faults - but was never shared
at 14:10 19 Jun 2025

"A newly discovered report into a faulty Post Office IT system at the heart of a second scandal could help quash criminal convictions of sub-postmasters.

The system, Capture, was prone to bugs and faults but sub-postmasters were forced to hand over money, sacked, and in some cases faced criminal prosecution by the Post Office for accounting errors.

A report from IT experts, unearthed after almost 30 years, was commissioned for the defence of Patricia Owen, one of the Post Office workers convicted, and described Capture as “an accident waiting to happen”.

IT specialist Adrian Montagu and his colleague’s investigation said the software was “totally discredited” while concluding “reasonable doubt exists as to whether any criminal offence has taken place”.

Mr Montagu and his business partner at a computing consultancy firm concluded “bugs and errors existed in sufficiently significant numbers and seriousness” meaning “any evidence relying on or related to it must be regarded as very unsafe”.
