- A Post Office boss will give evidence to the Horizon scandal inquiry on Friday a day after she was accused of misleading the High Court.
Angela van den Bogerd, who was in charge of handling complaints about Horizon from 2010, told the High Court in 2019 that she did not know subpostmasters’ branch accounts could be accessed remotely before 2018.
Testifying under oath in March 2019, Ms van den Bogerd told the court in the case of Mr Bates vs the Post Office she had first become aware transactions could be inputted without a sub-postmaster’s knowledge the previous year.

Please send her to prison
Rwanda would be better
We can only hope.
I don’t think anyone in the room believes a word she is saying.
She's being highly selective in what she remembers and what she doesn't.
She has zero credibility and her testimony is obviously self-serving.
Would make a perfect MP.
They could have rightly arrested and locked her up immediately after testifying
Look at the crunchings of her fingers
@@keithgreen9009 Spot on
@@mikepxg6406Very true.. As they say. A good politician is a comprehensive good Liar.. 👍
Evil woman... Deflecting all responsibility. A bully... and a coward.
All bullies are cowrards.
Looking forward to Vennells being questioned
She’s despicable 😢
She is currently working as an HR contractor and has recently overseen making 100 staff redundant at a company called Integral UK Ltd, she must be so proud of her contribution to society
Really she needs to go to prison and not collect any money from integral uk Ltd !
Alan Bates will lead the Crowd Fund for the prosecutions. It will be bigger than Colonel Tom.
The Post master need to start a Go Fund Me campaign to pay for civil prosecutions.
I'll put £50 in right now.
Yeah just to see these devils go to prison is justice for the nation
It's laughable that she portrays her role as just a facilitator. Her level of seniority must have meant that she would be expected to guide the review and resolution of issues. What a charlatan.
Her pay packet didn't reflect the role of just a facilitator.
Help me, please!!! Does anyone know that the fact that this horrible excuse for a human being was not cautioned mean that she will not be prosecuted???
This in a public inquiry not a criminal trial.
The apathy and arrogance of people in positions of responsibility is a cancer in this country.
She didn't know anything.......thought that was someone else's job....What did she actually do for her salary and bonus?
Sums up POL managers. Comes to work to read emails (?), ignore said emails and then forward on. Get hefty remuneration and go home, forget everything that happened during that day.
Every word she uttered, except her name was a lie. Sub-postmasters should take her to a civil court.
There is a strong potential case for her to face charges of criminal negligence and perjury
...by which i don't mean a prvate prosecution but full criminal charges.
@@nickbiskinis4854 let's hope it's sooner than later, and everyone can have justice.
If no criminal charges follow after this Inquiry then it will have failed and this sort of injustice will happen again - just at some other public body. It is essential, given the evidence and public interest, that criminal prosecutions of these individuals take place
That woman is highly unusual: she doesn’t seem to have any redeeming human characteristics. And she doesn’t seem to possess a whisper of moral fibre or awareness of the truth in her body. These people often reach the top. Witness Sunak, May, Johnson ,Cameron.
Are these the kind of people who normally run huge companies??? Sounds to me like she couldn't run a bath!
An illustration of Corporate Narcissistic tactics and then more Gaslighting. I hope justice is eventually served.
sociopathic behaviour, Did no wrong, wasn’t responsible, tried to help, but the evidence showed something very different. Final barrister summed it up post office to the core and would do anything to look good to her superiors, she did everything they wanted with or without asking. She knew her role and cannot hide from it. Look forward to her criminal trail if the sub-post masters are to get true justice.
Just another corporate ghoul
Here's what's on her Linked-In: Angela Van Den Bogerd MBA, MCIPD
People & Change Director, NED experience
Accomplished HR senior leader with experience gained across the people function within a large, complex, unionised, regulated, multi site, UK organisation and more recently with a SME. Skilled at transitioning seamlessly between strategic people management and organisational effectiveness, at ease in the boardroom and with the front line, creates an organisational climate to enable people to work at their best.

So how come she didn't read or didn't understand messages sent to her, didn't understand anything she was told and can't remember anything? Surely she should change her Linked-In to something appropriate like "Very poor memory, difficulty reading and concentrating on anything. But happy to get huge salary and bonuses for being useless."
Zero credibility as proven in court....
A jury would see through this no problem..
Probably said enough to move on...unfortunately just a hard faced cow.
Mislead my arse ,,,,,,, She's perjured herself, and she knows it !!!! so where's the met in all this, ???
Arresting everyone who doesn’t support Hamas?
Having now heard this woman and her emotionless tone I think Katherine Kelly who played her in the ITV drama got her spot on.......
Except she was nicer than the original 😅
If I had lied to a judge then I would be sentanced to prison. Will she go to the clink?
Will the Criminals involved ever face prosecution in a Court of Law ??
The cover up/blame game & Lies is incomprehensible.
Justice must be served..👍
why cant the official lawyers be as aggressive/honest as the ones representing the postmasters!!!!!
The lawyers are being professional 🧐
Yeah the lawyers here are being really nice to this gang , interrogation is need on this bunch of criminals
It's a strange coincidence that no one can remember reading any incriminating information, but can become Rain Man when it has a positive spin.
This excuse of a woman is a pathetic, a truly awful giving of evidence . Let us pray the wheel turns the full circle.
The sheer amount of lies this woman is giving in evidence is breathtaking. The front of this woman makes me sick.
So we are to believe that an e mail addressed to Angela Van Den Bogerd
on January 5th 2011 , with the Subject line “ Horizon System Issues “ she didn’t know the significance of that e mail.
She can not be serious.
Looks like none of the PO execs had any kind of education as they don't seem to understand anything they are told and seem unable to read any written messages sent to them. What was her education?
4:13:55 Best section, all the way to end of broadcast. Don't miss it.
Really straightforward, she wanted to keep her job, salary, power. just admit it. Then, just tell the truth, give these people some rest and retribution. Be that person in this debacle.
How many things has SHE FORGOTTEN TODAY>>>>>WHY HAVE THE ALL GOT SUCH POOR MEMORIES.
Because she’s been coached as denying knowledge is better than accepting blame! “If I had been aware of the information that I know now, then I would have acted differently” A brilliant sentence that not only absolves her but also blames others.
Jason Beer treats van den Bogerd far too gently here.
Still sniffing; still lying; but sitting comfortably on her bonuses.
Funny how she knows what DIDN'T happen but has forgotten what did happen.
It was mentioned she was made redundant n 2019 - effectively this would have enabled her to receive her gold plated final salary pension with no penalties!!! Was that for services rendered to the PO exec? In any other 'reputable' organisation she would have been sacked for gross misconduct and lost her pension rights - rather than lumbering the taxpayers to pay her a nice income for the rest of her life. Given her obvious failures to be sufficiently inquisitive (even giving her the benefit of the doubt that she wasn't willfully lying) and the impact of her failures on sub postmasters lives and contributing to the dire reputation of the PO - it is beyond belief she was simply made redundant.
It is highly probable Angela van den Bogus' career in general has with today's performance been definitively terminated.
Yes but she has the money accrued from the Post Office including bonuses. I doubt she needs to work
She should be locked up, and ordered to pay back everything i.e. all her bonuses. She only looking afer umber one, herself. Its against the law to tell lies in court, its called perjury. Lock her up and throw away the key. She's Guilty.
Should be in jail
Embarrassing to be Welsh, I wouldn't believe her radio.
Just watched the whole enquiry today. She is a liar and it shows. Selective amnesia and no thoughts for the lives she helped ruin. I want to see her jailed and he post office pension removed
Judge Peter Fraser criticised Van De Bogherd her testimony and said she "did not give me frank evidence, and sought to obfuscate matters, and mislead me".
Beer KC, lead counsel to the inquiry, challenged Ms van den Bogerd's opening statement, as he accused her of not saying sorry for her own role in the scandal…
The actions and motives were to save money and for personal gain in the way of significant benefits & bonus pay outs!!! Not to protect the brand.., it was to protect shareholders and save the business from going bankrupt!!
What shareholders?
These people have a stony-faced attitude in the midst of their integrity, competence, and professionalism being destroyed
Another PO employee who suffers from selective memory 🤔🤔😡😡😡
She was in charge of the SPM Help Line ! Read that’ Prosecution Line’. This is getting very bad indeed for AVDB
Shows amazing memory of some things and none of others.This shouldn't be an inquiry it should be criminal court proceedings, and everyone knows it.
Gareth Jenkins, chief IT architect at Fuj is one of only two people involved in the POscandal facing possible legal consequences, as the Met Police investigate him for potential perjury.21 Mar 2024
The technology expert who built the faulty Horizon IT system is understood to want immunity before appearing at a public inquiry. Gareth Jenkins, 69, previously gave evidence saying the Fujitsu system was 'not corrupt'
They knew how much money was taken. Paying it back would be the easiest thing. Now this huge mess. Why not have given it all back instantly?
Anyone get the feeling we still haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet? Like all that money is/was sat in someone's holiday account.
They've been on the fiddle and are blaming the post masters.
The whole management team including Fujitsu heads should be criminally charged.
Imagine all the money spent on this enquiry. Should have just given it to the relevant postmasters.
Lock her up
Blatantly obvious that Post office have hidden so much . I really do hope people are held accountable
Prison….for all of those who hid this appalling situation under the carpet. These people are DESPICABLE!! A lot of NHS managers are not much better
Totally agree. The managers who ignored Doctors concerns about Lucy Letby should be imprisoned too.
Prison sentences required
Potential that posecutions are connected to PO branch closure targets are astounding! 👀🤯
Spot on - no shame
Horrible piece of new age manager ...
Sir Walter Scott 1808 “Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive”
How convenient that she didn't see any emails or communications regarding Horizon remote access. She's a liar!
She is cold calculated and very clearly committing purgery imo. A referral to the police / cps should be made asap.
There are non so blind as those who will not see.
why did the FA of Wales offer her a job?
She's a Liar, even under oath she's still lying, and the whole world is watching her.
Having seen the real “ Thing” in action describing how she wasn’t involved or didn’t know anything of note about what was going on under her watch , the actress who played her in the ITV drama gave an eerily accurate portrayal. It’s clearly obvious they’ve all lawyered up , I hope they are all having the sleepless nights , anguish and uncertainty that they imposed on those innocent postmasters and their families .
Not sure if justice will be delivered and there still a former CBE holder piece of work to appear before the enquiry, that will be extremely interesting 🤔
I will donate to the crowd fund
I hope her family are so proud animal of a human being
A dangerous person, sadly many like her
Isn’t purgery a jailable offence?
Thankfully in a criminal court a defendant saying 'Sorry, it was over 10 years ago, I don't recall killing that person or hiding the evidence, is not proof they didn't do either. Hoping these forensic examinations of POL witness statements plus other info gleaned in the process , will reveal who knew or didn't know what, what exactly they did or didn't do about it and leave no-one doubting what legally and morally they should have done.
Maybe then we'll see the right people in court.
The “scheme ” was actually a scam
lock her up. Guilty
hmm how these people get these positions astounds me
They are obedient and loyal people to those above them, and are therefore trusted to be promoted. Even to this day she is still protecting them by omission.
Awful. Awful. Awful.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...
Fujitsu made a mess.
Covered up
Post office realised this
And got in to deep prosecutions.
Covered up.
Then worked together.
The government trusted the upper management to be honest.
Because they are like
Themselves.
Can remember exactly what didn’t happen , and cannot remember what actually did happen . Liar , thief , bully , coward , criminal .
Royal mail also needs investigating Simon Thompson CEO lied on Oath to Parliament 😢
Is it me ? But are the POL staff running rings around the legal team ? Especially Beer KC .
Still doesn’t explain how the excess money paid back by post masters wasn’t fully accounted… errors would be spotted on every system if all was fully accounted for , giving the post office the ability to generate their own funds from nowhere!!!
Watch Mr Bates vs the Post Office....PBS
i remember walking the tower gateway...a busy road...a pub called the "hanged, drawn and quartered"...iceland boss takes care of palm oil in his products...
I have watched all of these interviews from post office management, one glaring realisation, is the absolute poor quality of personal employed in positions of influence and governance. The bonuses involved as well basic salaries, are so out of kilter with abilities. I do understand now, why they've closed ranks. No chance would these individually or collectively be offered these types of renumerations at any other company.
Lier, lies,corruption?corporate
It weren’t me Guv!
Always a hidden/secret agenda suddenly emerges. It's hard to believe who's trying to be honest and who's cheating on what.
A gripping drama.
Says nothing at great length
WHO'S NEXT? HMRC?
wanted to make the group look independent!
She knew
Body language shows she is Lying
those in the know, should've
I think this is the testimony of a narcissist imo?
Lies lies lies and more lies.. and BT involved... fancy that.😂
Fujitsu also need to be held accountable especially Gareth Jenkins… they need to compensate the the Post Masters with at least £10 million pounds each and Fujitsu should also pay us back the tax payers in excess of a Billion pounds and consequently should pay significant fines!
And the government are still awarding contracts to Fujitsu. That's since the 2019 court case and includes a contract awarded in 2024. I'm not making it up, Google it
Roasted ....
top down
Comes across as an uncompromising Person.
But she didn’t give evidence!
