Post Office Horizon scandal and successor-company accountability
Fujitsu, which acquired and later rebranded ICL, was involved as the technology supplier associated with the Horizon system used by the UK Post Office. The scandal concerned disputed accounting shortfalls, prosecutions and alleged failures in the system's evidential reliability. The inquiry and related legal and political proceedings span the 1990s to the 2020s. The matter is relevant to ICL's corporate lineage but should be attributed primarily to Fujitsu and the Post Office-era system rather than automatically to the defunct ICL entity.
