The Oldenburg Regional Court in Germany has issued an arrest warrant in the trial of the South African national Markus Jooste, the former head of the Steinhoff furniture group, formerly the parent company of the now insolvent Kika and Leiner furniture chains in Austria. South Africa Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said the government had not received an extradition request from German authorities for the disgraced former CEO.
