Post Office gave BONUSES for every conviction, says Gary Thomas as chief’s shocking email mocking victims is revealed
The Sun says THE Post Office paid out bonuses for every Horizon conviction – as a chief’s shocking email mocking innocent victims is revealed.
Gary Thomas told the Post Office Horizon inquiry that his probe into sub-postmasters had been fuelled by “bonus objectives”.
The long-serving Post Office employee was the lead investigator in the case of Julian Wilson, who was wrongfully convicted in 2008.
Worcestershire postmaster Wilson died from bowel cancer in 2016, five years before he was cleared of stealing £27,000.
In a 2015 email mocking victims, Thomas said he wanted to prove there was “no ‘Case for the Justice of Thieving Subposters’.”
He added: “We were the best Investigators they ever had and they were all crooks!”
