- A former senior executive at the Post Office has said didn’t “knowingly do anything wrong” but has apologised for the “devastation” caused by the Horizon scandal.
Angela van den Bogerd, who worked in various roles at the organisation over more than three decades, has been described as the person in the organisation who knew more about Horizon than anyone else.
In her opening statement to the inquiry, she said she hoped her evidence would provide the answers sub-postmasters and their relatives were seeking.

Horrible woman. She and Vennells are as guilty as hell - they should both be in jail for what they did and they should lose all of their ill-gotten gains. They need to suffer in the same way that they made all of the postmasters suffer.
Aye, point.
'I will admit nothing and take "Zero" responsibility for all the evil I have inflicted on all these innocent people' - Angela Van Den Bogerd
Just like the rest of them, they've been coached these lying scumbags.
Put HER in prison.
First these people at the top need to be taken to court if guilty then prison
They are guilty. It’s written all over their faces. The reason why she doesn’t accept responsibility now is that she knows it’s an admission of guilt
She doesn’t apologise for the misery and suffering she caused in this scandalous affair.
She's only sorry that at last she's been caught and the sooner she's sent to prison the better.
Why apologise, criminal prosecution is warranted here.
Take everything she has and owns to pay back them poor people then lock her up !!!
Her "Best" caused distress, harm and death. Lock her up!
She has to go to prison.
Angela van den Bogerd; another who cant remember anything and thinks she did nothing wrong. How did she get promoted into the job ? She held various roles throughout her 35-year career at the Post Office, just how much did she earn out of the Post Office?
The only PO she shoul be near is a prison officer
Just another person who does not admit knowing what went on at the Post Office. Another Lier. Their Appologies mean Nothing. Let’s hope these people go to jail just like the people they helped wreck their lives👎🤡💩
Angela's face says it all that she is not happy but Legal Counsel has told her to tell her face to not admit that obvious fact and getting a widow of a Sub Postmaster to sign an NDA is possibly one of the most evil things ever particularly after he was forced to jump in front of a Bus
Not another bloody 'expression of regret'. Utterly disingenuous.
Lies,lies, and more lies.
I've met people with Alzheimers that can recall more information than Angela Van Den Bogerd 😂😂
This one and Vennels need to serve time in Prison. That can be the only true justice.
She’s lying.
What a hypocrite.
The best of her ability doesn’t seem to have been up to much.
Well her best wasn't really good enough was it......i cannot believe the Post Office employed so many inept individuals, unbelievable and appalling..!!!!
true
This woman remembers nothing! Today was a great lesson in 'how to tickle a trout'........thank you Mr Beer, you are a Legend 😊
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover, and this is it.
She has been caught out so is putting on a sad face now!
She made the widow of a sub postmaster sign a NDA after he committed suicide!
Her and Vennells deserve a prison sentence the dreadful way they destroyed so many innocent lives!
Simply Pure Evil, can tell feels nothing
She regrets nothing.
this was her best .i shocked she even remember what best is to know.so in her words her best is the worst we ever known .that is the standard.for rewards bonuses titles honors knighthoods and a church to hide in.
It's amazing how many of the pathetic bosses can't remember anything. Hope these liars get prosecuted for what they have done. I hate the bullshit apologies they give as well! If that is going to change things!
I hope justice is served. She'll be in the firing line when Alan Bates crowdfunds private prosecutions.
There are employees and employers at Fujitsu that wrote and amended computer codes that adjusted sub postmasters machine that need to talk .
Indeed.
A visitor to Fujistsu was shown by a Fujitech how he could access a subpostmasters accounts, therein he adjusted certain summaries, then came out, all with no notification to said account holder.
Twas only at the visitors protestation at what seemed wrongly apparent that Fujiguy went back in and set things straight.
Funny … no one can remember anything .. 🤔🤦🏻♂️
It’s like an Alzheimer’s Reunion
She is a liar...
I’ve apologised , isn’t that enough ..🙄
She is well clued up on her answers
Unbelievable to see how dim, and lacking in principles, imagination and empathy all these former Post Office bosses are. Basic intelligence and any grasp of IT systems at all should have dictated that they enquire whether there could be bugs in the system.
Watched some of this one today. According to her answers she wasn't responsible for anything and only admitted to interacting with someone else at Pol to throw them under the bus.
Id love a job where I get paid a huge salary for doing and being responsible for nothing.
It'd get/be b O r I n g ....
Apologies serve the apologiser only. This is a perfect example of 'Catholic mindset'. Do any and everything you like and then just apologise and seek forgiveness so that you can sleep at night. No one with any credibility really believes this approach.
Whens Paula coming in for questioning
She got it completely wrong but that was the best she could manage?
I have watched endless hours of this enquiry - and it is remarkable the lack of range in their response to the sàme/similar questioning .... interestingly others more informed individuals have on YT have noted the same phenomena ... . I have concluded that the privitisation of the GPO/Royal Mail was badly thought through, disorganised and hugely (but not exclusively) contribuyed to the uttetly digraceful shambles which rapidly developed.
Not only was Capture/Horizin unfit for purpose, the management at every level and in each important division/department, you could not make up a more incredible Kafkaesque account of Enron/BCCI proportions if you tried - I seriously doubt if any of these Dickensian characters will face justice, never mind serve jail time .... too many people made money out of this mafia style extortion racket .... The Post Office was a titanic privitisation, a work of utter hubris, promoted like Brexit by a bunch of elitist politicians and market gamblers - it was our G.P,O a public asset and institution, it should never have been pinched by Lord Snooty and Champagne Charlie
And that was her best.....
Her face tells the story......They just lie.
Jail her
Amazing how many senior figures apparently had nothing to do with this or don't remember. What were they actually being paid for?
If the police don’t put this woman in prison there’s something seriously wrong with this country.
She did her best under cross-examination to wriggle out of all personal responsibility for what happened.
In summary, she appears to be saying :
"As a senior executive I realize that most people would expect that I have to either admit to being entirely incompetent or else to being complicit in the policy of defrauding and defaming Post Office managers. In fact, however, I admit to nothing at all except that had I known that the facts were going to be revealed, I might have done some things differently - to avoid having to accept any blame and to be able to keep hold of the significant bonuses which were infamously paid out to the guilty parties".
She done 'the best that she could do', but for who?
For the board and boses, and for Fugitsu, but definatly not for the postmasters
Were ex CBE AVs claimed concerns genuine she'd have been kicking up a stink at the first conviction /imprisonment of the subpostmasters 'nicked'.
What about the computer tech fitted into the banks 🏦. ? Banks also had to install computer systems, ( not only PO chip technology)
Omg yes u did all of you are so guilty saying sorry is an insult to those people this enquiry had better bring the police to it grrrr
PO Official
Or
Prison Officer,
Face fits both.
Using the fatty Johnson and Smirking Sunak defence "I don't remember, I can't recall, it's not me Guv" Lock the 3 of them up!
Amnesia
Does not think she did anything wrong what a specimen
😢😢😢😢
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine
The poor and wretched don't escape
If they conspire the law to break
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back
Sorrryyy ⛷️🍸

Sure all the NHS CEO kiddie fiddlers feel the same. JAIL
She held a job way beyond her capability, a five year old could say I did my best it still adds up to abject incompetence. Sincere regret and honest apologies are the least she could offer - she can't even do that. How proud her family must be of her.
