A former Post Office investigator “erroneously” submitted a CV including his wife’s educational achievements when applying to become a Post Office investigator in 2008, following a restructuring of the security team. Robert Daily said he had not realised this was the case at the time and that the false information being included on his application had only come to light as he prepared his second statement for the inquiry. Mr Daily was involved in an investigation into Peter Holmes, a former police officer turned sub-postmaster, who was sacked after he was falsely accused of stealing £46,000 from his branch in Jesmond, Newcastle. Mr Holmes pleaded guilty to four counts of false accounting in 2010 and was sentenced to a community order with a three-month 7pm to 7am curfew. He died from a brain tumour in October 2015 before his conviction was posthumously quashed. Read your updates here:
