www.businesslive.co.za/fm/features/co...Steinhoff’s secret history and the dirty world of Markus Jooste
For years, former CEO Markus Jooste and his inner circle wove an intricate web of opaque deals hidden from shareholders to covertly enrich themselves
An amaBhungane and FM investigation has confirmed what many have long suspected: former Steinhoff CEO Markus Jooste held secret stakes in companies that traded with Steinhoff for years to Jooste’s covert benefit. These deals’ true beneficiaries were hidden from investors.
Nor was he the only one. Some of the deals also secretly included the Steinhoff family, through a trust founded by the company’s founder, Bruno Steinhoff, for his daughters, including current Steinhoff director Angela Krüger-Steinhoff.
Weeks ahead of the expected findings of a PwC forensic report on what went wrong at Steinhoff, this new evidence suggests Jooste, 57, used Steinhoff to secretly enrich himself and Bruno Steinhoff’s family at the expense of shareholders, who were none the wiser about this "self-dealing".
