Angela van den Bogerd, who was a senior director in the Post Office working with sub-postmasters, is due to give evidence at the inquiry for two days
Van den Bogerd worked for the Post Office from 1985 – 2020, having worked her way up from branch level to head of partnerships before leaving in 2020
She is described as the executive who knew more about the bug-prone Horizon IT system than anyone else and was personally involved in handling sub-postmasters’ complaints
Between 1999 and 2015, more than 900 sub-postmasters were prosecuted because issues with Horizon made it look like money was missing from branches
On Wednesday the inquiry heard the management committee wanted to pause all prosecutions in 2013, but ex-chief executive Paula Vennells wanted some to continue
