- 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.”

Jail her.
Basically, we all knew something wasn't right, but who cares?
How come the sub postmasters were never allowed the defence of "I don't recall" ????
Paula Vennels will take this pretense of innocence to the next level. They were hiding behind one another.
She'll probably turn up with a sick note from her rich doctor. "Stress causing mental illness. Not fit to testify. Sorry" 🫥
Specialist in selective memory what a peice of work
Like the nhs Southampton consultants who “lose” evidence of there kiddie fiddling
All these top business people, earning God knows how much, yet none of them had the brain to say that Horizon may be faulty as all these SPM's can't be wrong. What she and all the others did wrong was not using one brain cell between them.
A psychologist would have a lot to say about the way she’s playing with her fingers !
Angela's face is saying not happy but the Legal Counsel has told her to pretend to have no memory of this obvious fact
As soon as they say ‘I don’t recall’ they should be jailed until they do remember. Stick em in a prison cell like they did the Postmistresses and postmasters.
I wonder if the possibility of future criminal charges has occurred to any of them.
There will none, judiciary are weak, inept and more than 1/2 the problem.
Yes it has. Their teams of very very pricey lawyers will be telling them. When the prosecutions start they'll be on their own. And bled dry. Hopefully this will compensate victims (and the families of those who've taken their own lives over the issue) however I don't think a decade or more in court struggling through funds and prosecutions will be CHEAP for them.
Also with Labour in they won't have any political connections left to hide behind, and I don't think Labour will be inclined to hold back any evidence they themselves dig up if it should potentially implicate any Tories at the same time!
So yes, I do think it's dawning on her and she will be VERY conscious now as she sits there and scowls that there are potentially VERY VERY VERY financially draining consequences awaiting.
Police investigation will get to bottom of that
And in today's nature documentary we have a weasel.
"With the evidence I had and the way my bonus was structured, I did the best I could"
What a lying beach.
More people saying sorry for what happened when they knew the system was broken they all say the same … vile people..are we going to see justice done for these poor postmasters ??? And it only come to a head after a tv programme. Everyone in power knew everyone. Absolutely disgusting.
A liar and should go to jail!
BS
🎒! not even getting to the answer! 🎒
Heart of stone hard as nails ...........
memory loss in the post office seems like everyone had it.
For Nick Wallis, please read Investigative Journalist Extraordinary. His doggedness and determination continues to keep this deeply shocking affair at the forefront of so many people's minds. Never in the field of British miscarriages of justice, has so much been owed, by so many, to so few. Wallis is among those few and deserves a great honour for his services to investigative journalism, van den Bogerd deserves to be in prison. Write about those few to the King - I have!
The public want arrests. what the the police playing at. Please do your jobs
I hope they had someone standing by with a fire extinguisher. Flaming underpants are a fire hazard!
Lock her up
Wyn Williams needs to consider if it’s worth carrying on with this charade. Every time a difficult question is asked it’s I can’t recall. I would recommend going straight to criminal proceedings. Police to act immediately and charge
I did my best!
This woman has no shame at all!
Her and Vennells should be in prison soon!
Being incompetent is wrong!
Pure evil. There are many people in prison right now who have done far less damage than this apalling woman. Together with Vennells this is an orgainised cover-up. These people ARE responsible for massive human suffering.
Well she would say that, even if everybody thinks differently and many of her colleagues say differently. Never mind the sub-postmaster victims who's lives were destroyed.
What a joke, misleading and dishonest, disgraceful
There is a word for this kind of person, CRIMINAL. Not only did she lie under oath, she lied to protect her lies and the lies of others. She is trying to cover herself from prosecution and in doing so, has revealed her incompetence. Her arrogance is breathtaking as is her remorse for the people who went into debt or prison on her behalf.
Still no apology. Accountability please. I found watching her lie again and again disgraceful.
Im surprised i havent heard " i was only doing what i was told" yet
She probably voted for jimmy saville
Just another one that won’t admit things went wrong and they are collectively to blame!
I hope this lady goes to prison
She's very callous and doesn't show Amy signs of remorse.
They say there are nine levels in Hell. Is it likely Hell is building a new level - level 10 for all these Post Office employees? I suspect they are.
Get rid
ironically, if u sit in aldwich, u see the bollards move....
A disgrace
Of course she doesn't think she did anything wrong. She's got away with her bonus, pension and cushy benefits. So what's there to apologise for.
Pathetic.
More lies
