Post Office investigator accused subpostmistress of telling him a “pack of lies”

A Post Office investigator has denied claims he and others “behaved like Mafia gangsters” who were looking to collect “bounty with the threats and lies” from subpostmasters.

Stephen Bradshaw, who has been employed at the Post Office since 1978, submitted a witness statement to the Horizon IT inquiry in which he said: “I refute the allegation that I am a liar.”

He told the inquiry he was not “technically minded” and was not equipped to know whether there were bugs or errors in the Horizon system.

Mr Bradshaw accused one subpostmistress of telling him a “pack of lies” during an interview.

Jacqueline McDonald claimed she was “bullied” by Mr Bradshaw during an investigation into her alleged £50,000 shortfall and also accused Post Office investigators of “behaving like Mafia gangsters”.

On Thursday the inquiry heard extracts of an interview Mr Bradshaw conducted with Ms McDonald.

Mr Bradshaw asked her to tell him what happened to the money, to which the subpostmistress said: “I don’t know where the money is, I’ve told you.”

He responded: “You have told me a pack of lies.”

Ms McDonald said: “No I haven’t told you a pack of lies because I haven’t stolen a penny.”
