Photograph: Toru Hanai/Reuters Fujitsu chair resigns after ‘woman-related inappropriate conduct’ Japanese technology company at centre of Post Office IT scandal is negotiating settlement with UK government over faulty software Business live – latest updates The chair of Fujitsu , the Japanese technology firm at the centre of the Post Office IT scandal, has resigned after its board became aware of his “woman-related inappropriate conduct”. The company said on Tuesday that Hidenori Furuta had stepped down after two years in the role. The tech firm said in a stock market filing that its board of directors “became aware of his inappropriate conduct and subsequently received a request from Mr Furuta to resign as director as of 16 June”. UK sets out AI infrastructure push at London Tech Week – how does it stack up? Read more Fujitsu added that it has withdrawn Furuta’s candidacy as a non-executive director at its annual shareholders’ meeting later this month. A spokesperson said that “there was inappropriate conduct” that was “woman-related”, but gave no further details, the Financial Times reported. It is the latest scandal concerning Fujitsu, which supplied faulty software to the Post Office in the UK, leading to thousands of post office operators being falsely accused of embezzling funds, with 900 wrongfully convicted for theft and false accounting. The company is negotiating a settlement with the UK government, but has not yet contributed towards the £1.5bn compensation bill for victims, footed by UK taxpayers, even though it admitted it had known since the 1990s that the Horizon system was faulty. The Horizon system is to finally be replaced at the Post Office after the management consultancy Accenture and software platform OneView Commerce won contracts to implement a new accounting system. As Japan’s biggest IT services company, Fujitsu is expected to play a leading role in prime minister Sanae Takaichi’s efforts to get ahead in AI and reduce reliance on the US. Furuta was elevated to chair in 2024 after serving in various roles, as chief operating officer, executive vice-president and chief technology officer at Fujitsu. He recently joined the Japan-EU Business Round Table in Brussels, according LinkedIn , together with Mikihito Saito, the chair of the Japan Business Council in Europe and senior executive vice-president at Fujitsu. Furuta, contacted by Reuters via LinkedIn, said: “The company statement speaks for itself.” A number of executives have lost their jobs in Japan after being accused of inappropriate behaviour towards women. They include Shinji Aoyama, an executive vice-president at the carmaker Honda, who resigned just over a year ago after an allegation of inappropriate behaviour during a social gathering outside work.

By Phil McNulty Chief football writer in Dallas Published 6 hours ago When Jude Bellingham uttered the words "who else?" in the direction of England's supporters after sparing them a humiliating exit with a spectacular overhead kick against Slovakia at Euro 2024, no-one even thought to argue. Bellingham's acrobatics â with the clock at Gelsenkirchen reading 94 minutes 34 seconds â became an iconic moment as his stunning equaliser set up a 2-1 win after extra time in the last 16. England suffered familiar disappointment when losing to Spain in the final in Berlin, but Bellingham's status as the team's golden boy seemed assured. Instead, two years on at the World Cup, Bellingham's star has not exactly fallen but it has certainly dimmed. Bellingham will face Croatia in England's World Cup opener in Dallas on Wednesday intent on putting his international career in the ascendant once more after appearing to win the battle with Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers for the No 10 role behind captain Harry Kane. And, after tough love from England head coach Thomas Tuchel, Bellingham's World Cup build-up has appeared to be that of a player on a mission for glory, a special talent who can be a key figure in their quest to win the World Cup. Tuchel's strict refusal to operate a star system, as well as the emergence of Aston Villa's outstanding Rogers, has made Bellingham's place the subject of intense debate, a notion unthinkable after Euro 2024. So turn the phrase "who else?" back towards Bellingham - the "who else?" in his England world became boyhood friend Rogers and a single-minded head coach without a care for reputations and status. The relationship between player and coach has occasionally appeared fragile, with Tuchel apologising after revealing his own mother sometimes viewed Bellingham's on-field behaviour as "repulsive" following the friendly loss at home to Senegal last June. Tuchel, whose brutal honesty can sometimes be unfiltered, admitted he used the word "unintentionally" â but then created a further stir by leaving Bellingham out of England's squad for the friendly at home to Wales and the World Cup qualifier away to Latvia last October, even though the Real Madrid star wanted to be included after recovering from shoulder surgery.
