A former Post Office executive has insisted she did 'not do anything wrong' in the Horizon scandal as she apologised 'for the devastation caused' to sub-postmasters and their families. Angela van den Bogerd, the former head of partnerships and people services director at the Post Office, started her evidence session today at the government inquiry into the Horizon scandal with an apology.
"Counsel to the inquiry Jason Beer KC said she did not apologise in her witness statement for her role in the Horizon scandal. Ms van den Bogerd went on: "I apologise for not getting to the answer more quickly. But with the evidence I had and the parameters of my role at the time, I did the best I could to the best of my ability."She told of leaving the Post Office in 2020 because of delays with the compensation scheme, saying she was "disillusioned" with the process.
