JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – South African troubled retailer, Steinhoff (SNHJ.J) announced Friday a loss related to continuing operations of an amount of 356 million euros (401 million USD), as it continues to suffer the effects of an accounting fraud estimated at more than 7 billion USD.

Steinhoff first reported deficiencies in his accounts in December 2017, shocking investors who had supported his transformation from a small South African company into a discount furniture retailer straddling four continents.
