Fujitsu boss is living on blood money as we suffer

POST SCANDAL VICTIM'S FURY OVER £2M MANSION

• Tech CEO has a luxury pad...while jailed mum lost home

A FORMER sub-postmistress wrongly jailed in the Post Office's Horizon scandal claims the boss of IT firm Fujitsu is "living on blood money" with a £2million mansion.

Seema Misra, 48, considered killing herself when she was sentenced to 15 months for theft and false accounting.

All that stopped her was being eight weeks pregnant - and she later had to give birth wearing an electronic tag.

She lost her flat after the Post Office sought to recover tens of thousands of pounds of supposed losses.

Meanwhile, Paul Patterson, chief executive of the European arm of Fujitsu, which developed the faulty Horizon IT system, owns a six-bed mansion in a well-heeled area. And the pad, which Land Registry papers show cost £2.35m in 2021, sits four miles from Mrs Misra's former post office.

Last night, the mum-of-two called for Fujitsu to compensate victims.

She said: "So many people lost their life. I always say they haven't lost their life, the Post Office and Fujitsu killed them, so they have blood on their hands. So many people who couldn't see their name get to be cleared.... this is like a blood money they're living on."
