Director of Fujitsu Services William Paul Patterson gives evidence in Post Office Horizon IT inquiry.
A senior manager at the IT company behind the flawed Horizon computer system called a sub-postmaster a “nasty chap” while encouraging a colleague to protect the Fujitsu “name” in court, an inquiry heard.
Peter Sewell, a security team manager at Fujitsu, wrote: “Castleton is a nasty chap and will be all out to rubbish the FJ name, it’s up to you to maintain absolute strength and integrity no matter what the prosecution throw at you. WE will all be behind you hoping you come through unscathed. Bless You.”
The email was sent to Andy Dunks, a Fujitsu employee who was tasked with signing expert witnesses before the civil trial of Lee Castleton.
