Former Steinhoff chairperson Christo Wiese has reportedly told News24 that the National Prosecuting Authority shouldnât be blamed for the slow pace of the Steinhoff probe. He said the case was complicated.
This comes after three top Steinhoffâs executives were charged on Thursday in Germany.
The public prosecutorâs office in Oldenburg, a town near Westerstede, where Steinhoff was founded, did not name the three former executives, reports suggest that the furniture companyâs CEO, Markus Jooste, and its former chief for Europe, Dirk Schreiber, are among the three charged.
