Are there more details on that somewhere? Feels like something that an investigative journalist (or, I guess these days, podcaster) would've dug right into the guts of.

There is a very good book that covers it very well: the great post office scandal

People had been doing that since at least 2011 (there were some rumblings before, but no in-depth reporting by the likes of the BBC AFAIK). Still took close to 10 years to resolve the matter...
You can read a report at e.g. https://www.private-eye.co.uk/pictures/special_reports/justi...
As well as Wikipedia of course https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal

There is a BBC podcast, "The Great Post Office Trial." You can find an RSS feed for it here:

There is also a book by the same reporter.
