The case against the accused in Germany is expected to begin on 3 May 2023.
According to a statement from a court in Germany, the proceedings against the accused - one of whom is believed to be Jooste - in a criminal case centered on Steinhoff there is set to kick off next year.
While the statement does not name Jooste, it does refer to a “former CEO of Steinhoff international holdings, aged 61”.According to the statement, what was initially one case - involving four accused - has now been split into two, each of which involves two accused. This was a result of the courts deciding to separate the cases of two accused who were living abroad.
The case against the other two - including, as it’s understood Jooste - meanwhile is expected to kick off in the northern hemisphere’s spring. The statement said, though, that a date inquiry was under way and that as soon as dates were fixed, they would be communicated.
