A former Post Office boss has insisted she did “not do anything wrong” in the Horizon scandal.

Angela van den Bogerd, who held a number of roles in the organisation from 1985 until 2020, had told the inquiry she was “truly sorry” for the “devastation” caused by the scandal.

But when pressed if she was personally responsible, she said: “I didn’t knowingly do anything wrong, and I would never knowingly do anything wrong.”

She added: “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 and to the best of my ability.”

Ms van den Bogerd had earlier said: “I do want to say to everyone impacted by wrongful convictions and wrongful contract terminations that I am truly sorry for the devastation caused to you, your families and friends.”
