The word 'potential' doesn't hide much from anyone
Post Office scandal: Met Police investigate 'potential fraud offences'
Neil Hudgell, a lawyer who acts for claimants, told the BBC that some of those seeking advice were former sub-postmasters who were prosecuted by the Post Office.
The Met Police said the potential offences could have been related to "monies recovered from sub-postmasters as a result of prosecutions or civil actions".
The force has already been looking into potential offences of perjury and perverting the course of justice in relation to investigations and prosecutions carried out by the Post Office.

Was "Sir" Kneel Starmer in charge of the The Crown Prosecution Service at any point during this great legal outrage?
dearieme - he certainly was, I wonder if he'll be asked to comment during the general election campaign?
They claim to be so morally superior to conservatives do the socialists and liberal democrats. Over this episode, not so much.
Happily, it's not doing "Sir" Ed Davey any good either. He was in charge, but said that he was "deeply misled" by Post Office officials, and anyway, some bigger boys did it and then ran away.
Tammly - yes it's always been a spurious claim. Usually implied, sometimes not, but always spurious.
Sam - but not "deeply misled" about climate change of course. He studied atmospheric physics for that one.
