Exactly, it's understandable that live data needed to be changed to correct it as a result of a bug, but the changes should have to go through an approval process that can be audited.
Even if the changes can be tracked on the live systems themselves after all this time, the change approval process/system should still have a record of the changes.

Could be opportunism but hard to ignore fact that the financial element of the prosecution's claimed motive now looks highly questionable.

That guy beat his wife to death, she was having affairs and he's killed her.. the fact that he got up at 4.30 am started working, didn't hear anyone bludgeoning his wife upstairs and 2 minutes after the safe was opened phoned 999 ..

Stating that the guy killed his wife shortly after he got up outta bed 4.30, lay in wait till 9! Then robbed him, bear in mind he was robbed a year earlier and no one convicted.

It stinks
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

The answer is the person with enough money. Anyone who thinks this is a solely British problem is greatly mistaken.

One difference is that this was a police investigation. The other investigations and prosecutions were by the PO themselves.

Have watched the first 3 episodes. Incredible what went on. We need to see not only the PO but Fujitsu held to account including prosecutions.
