A Post Office fraud investigator today told an inquiry he was never informed of issues with the Horizon IT system by superiors and is 'not technically minded' - as he denied 'acting life a Mafia gangster'.
Stephen Bradshaw has been employed at the Post Office since 1978 and was involved in the criminal investigation of nine subpostmasters, including Lisa Brennan, a former counter clerk at a post office in Huyton, near Liverpool.
She was wrongly convicted of stealing £3,000 in 2003, leading to a spiral of misery that saw her lose her marriage and attempt an overdose before becoming homeless with her daughter - relying on family members for food.
