A little earlier, van den Bogerd sais she was "disillusioned" with the Post Office, and that's what prompted her to leave in 2020 - not the outcome of trials in 2019. | |
In 2019, the Post Office agreed to pay them £58m in compensation to former sub-postmasters wrongly prosecuted. Although much of the money went on legal fees. | |
Van den Bogerd said she felt disillusioned about the intent of the business, telling the inquiry: "We'd agreed with the settlement, and therefore we accept that's the position, and we should move on". | |
She confirmed that it was the position of the Post Office that prompted her to leave, adding that she felt "pigeon-holed into the litigation". | |
But, van den Bogerd added, she was asked to stay by Paula Vennells, because of her extensive knowledge of the business. | |
