A senior Post Office executive was told by an independent investigator that an innocent sub-postmaster had been wrongly imprisoned without “any evidence”, six years before his conviction was finally quashed.

A secret recording obtained by ITV News has revealed Angela Van Den Bogerd, former Head of Partnerships at the Post Office, was told in January 2015 that the organisation had “materially misled” the courts in prosecuting Carl Page - a sub-postmaster from Staffordshire.

She was a key figure in the Post Office scandal and gave evidence to Parliament in February 2015 alongside then-Chief Executive Paula Vennells.

  • Why are we wasting time having a inquiry. It should be a criminal court case against all of them.
  • Unbelievable stuff here. Evil. They clearly need to be immediately arrested. What are we waiting for.
  • @nigelhart3897
    "Can you please leave my property, paid for by post office bonuses." While innocent people went to jail.
  • @brawrecords
    These post office execs need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The lives they have ruined is not forgivable.
  • @jempro1674
    Angela Van Den Bogerd is guilty and needs to do time. Why the wait? Her pension should help the victims... Now!
  • she must have all her assists striped and the millions she was paid in bonus's and wages re turned to the public purse and she need sanctioned ... before she goes to jail for a very long time .. 150 court cases she watched and sat there happy know fine well she was doing wrong .. police need to act now and so does the uk government.
  • She should be charged. I'm no solicitor, but at the very at least, I think Perverting the Course of Justice should be put against her.
  • @tommy87431
    tragic how Angela Van Den Bogerd treated her dog with more respect and dignity than all those subpostmasters combined. Honestly how does she sleep at night
  • Absolutely despicable, why on Earth did Cameron give Vennells an Honour?
  • This is the woman (according to the drama) who made the wife of a post-master who had taken his own life by walking in front of a bus sign a non-disclosure agreement before the Post Office would pay her any compensation.
  • In none of these trials was the Post Office able to identify money that went into possession of the victims. The judges should have insisted that the PO find and provide this evidence. The judges and other lawyers also let down the sub-postmasters and mistresses.
  • @pandav4843
    they have big salary, big bonusses and now guess what ,, nothing will happen with these people because they have money. are not poor persons. When you have money you will not go to jail..
  • @onx99
    Paula V should be on trial for murder, or at least manslaughter.
  • @wristwatch15
    If there was justice she would be attending the inquiry in an orange jumpsuit and chains. 😮
  • The Post Office prosecuted the Postmasters, now it's time for them to prosecute these executives!
  • @cp4512
    This is absolutely shocking. They knew years ago but hid the information as innocent people went to jail and tried to commit suicide. It’s horrific that these rich cretins took their big bonuses whilst other live fell apart. So inhumane and deceitful 😢
  • @MrBubba311
    Quite an impressive home Ms Van Den Bogerd lives in.
  • Never trust a public official who says anything with absolute certainty.
