# The Steinhoff fraud case has been moved to the High Court due to its complexity, with the next hearing pushed to 3 September. Former Steinhoff executives, Stéhan Grobler Hein Odendaal and Iwan Peter Schelbert received extended bail at Pretoria’s Specialized Commercial Crimes Court. The prosecution is finalising investigations and awaiting key witness affidavits by mid-June. Grobler denies charges including racketeering, fraud and financial statement manipulation, worth 21-billion-rand. The scandal, dating back to 2017, remains one of South Africa’s largest corporate fraud cases.
