Post Office Horizon expert admits seeing legal advice on trial obligations and defends Fujitsu's remote access
A key figure behind the flawed IT system that led to hundreds of sub-postmasters being wrongly jailed has told the Post Office inquiry he had "not remembered" legal advice he was given about his obligations as an expert witness. Former senior Fujitsu engineer Gareth Jenkins was crucial in the prosecutions process because he was one of the architects of the Horizon accounting systems and one of a few people to have extensive knowledge of their workings. The letter, which related to the Post Office prosecution of postmaster Lee Castleton, was written four years before Mr Jenkins was presented as an expert witness in the case of Seema Misra, who was wrongfully sentenced to 15 months in prison while pregnant in 2010.

Judge puts $30 billion Visa, Mastercard settlement on hold, in signal of likely rejection
A federal judge said she's not likely to approve the $30 billion settlement between the payment processing giants Visa and Mastercard and the merchants who say they've overpaid on swipe fees. Visa and Mastercard reached a settlement with a group of small businesses and merchants back in March. The deal would lower and cap the fees charged by Visa and Mastercard and allow small businesses to collectively bargain for rates with the payment processors in a similar way that the large merchants do on their own now.

Exclusive-Poland's Orlen warned three gas companies it could seize Gazprom payments, sources say
WARSAW (Reuters) -Poland's biggest energy company Orlen warned gas companies in Hungary, Slovakia and Austria that it could seize their payments for imports from Russia's Gazprom, sources familiar with the matter said. The warnings, in letters sent over a month ago, are linked to claims for losses Poland incurred after being cut off from Russian supplies in 2022, two sources with knowledge of the letters told Reuters. Poland was cut off for not paying in roubles as Western nations imposed sanctions on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
