| The former head of the retail group that was at the centre of a huge corporate fraud case in South Africa has died, a day after he was ordered to pay $25m (£20m) as a fine. | |
| Police said Markus Jooste succumbed to a gunshot wound after he allegedly shot himself on Thursday outside his home. | |
| “The circumstances surrounding his death are being investigated,” police spokesperson André Traut told local media. | |
| The country's financial regulator said Jooste had played a role in the publishing of misleading financial statements about Steinhoff International Holdings. | |
| The retailer has suffered heavy losses as have investors in South African pension funds since an accounting scandal broke in 2017. | |
| Prior to that, Jooste had acquired billions of dollars' worth of high street retailers across Europe (including the UK-based Poundland). | |
| He had also been fined for insider trading in 2020. | |
