Ali, Assad
Published:
Assad Ali was convicted in October 2012 of false accounting and received a community punishment order of 250 hours’ unpaid work and a costs order of £300.
The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in July 2021.
This was one of the CCRC’s “Post Office” cases, referred on the basis that the prosecution amounted to an abuse of process and that therefore there was a real possibility the appellate court would not uphold the conviction.
You can find out more about Post Office / Horizon cases on the CCRC’s dedicated hub.

The CCRC referred the conviction in April 2024.
The Crown Court quashed the conviction in May 2024.
