<h1>Post Office scandal inquiry reveals 13 suicides among nearly 1,000 wrongly prosecuted postal employees from faulty software</h1> A public inquiry found at least 13 people killed themselves due to Britain's Post Office scandal, where nearly 1,000 postal employees were wrongly prosecuted for theft, fraud, and false accounting between 1999-2015. Another 59 contemplated suicide. The wrongful convictions resulted from faulty Horizon software that showed false account shortfalls, leading the Post Office to accuse branch managers of dishonesty and demand repayment. Victims faced imprisonment, bankruptcy, health problems, and community ostracism. The government has introduced legislation to reverse convictions and provide compensation for what's considered one of the UK's biggest miscarriages of justice.
