By Sonia KatariaA former postmaster who was jailed wrongfully for stealing £208,000 says he is still awaiting his full pay out.
Mr Butoy, who co-ran a post office in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, was given a three-year and three-month sentence after his conviction in 2007 and served 18 months in prison before he was released.Mr Butoy, from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, who ran the post office with his wife for five years, said he had received the first stage of his compensation, but negotiations on the full pay out were still ongoing."They were trying to half it.
The head of an inquiry into the scandal, Sir Wyn Williams, issued a report on 17 July calling for action and law changes to stop issues "blocking full and fair compensation". The former High Court judge said there were 438 applications for compensation still to be resolved as of 27 April, which the Post Office had accepted were "difficult to resolve".
