Stephen Bradshaw, a former Post Office investigator, has been under the spotlight at the Post Office public inquiry, vehemently denying claims of bullying and acting like a 'Mafia gangster.' Despite his denials, Bradshaw revealed that he had accused victims of lying and admitted to signing court statements he hadn't written. The inquiry delved into Bradshaw's involvement in pursuing Post Office branch managers, including the case of Lisa Brennan, who was falsely accused of theft in 2003.
As the Horizon IT scandal unfolded, Bradshaw faced intense questioning about his role and interview techniques used on sub-postmasters. He defended his actions, stating that the statements he signed off on were prepared by solicitors for various criminal cases. The inquiry also highlighted Bradshaw's declaration of 'absolute confidence' in the Horizon IT system, a statement he claimed was not his own.

His interactions with wrongly prosecuted sub-postmasters have raised concerns about the conduct of Post Office investigators. The inquiry continues to shed light on the injustices faced by hundreds of sub-postmasters between 1999 and 2015.
In a surprising turn of events, it was revealed that Post Office lawyers instructed investigators, including Bradshaw, to defend the faulty IT system.
