"Fujitsu's Involvement in UK Post Office Scandal Inquiry"
Fujitsu has informed the UK government that it will not bid for public contracts while the inquiry into the Post Office scandal, involving its faulty Horizon software, is ongoing. This decision comes after more than 900 sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly prosecuted due to the software's errors. The government has continued to award contracts to Fujitsu despite the scandal, but the company has voluntarily stepped back from bidding for future contracts. Fujitsu's European boss apologized for the firm's role in the scandal and stated that the company has a "moral obligation" to contribute to compensation for those affected.
