I only know this from hearsay online - but I think Aldi has a decent US presence (I'd be interested if it's Süd or Nord that managed to branch out there, or both 🤔), and I heard of Lidl existing in the US as well.
As for Asia, Australia, Latin America, Canada, Africa, India, the middle East.... I never heard anything, but it would be interesting to hear if someone has some experience there.
süd operates as aldi in the u.s. nord bought trader joes in '79. their target markets are a little different with aldi being more mainstream including smaller cities; while trader joes tends to stay in higher-income neighborhoods of metro areas and larger cities.
Homeplus in South Korea at least used to be a Tesco thing and you could get Tesco-branded products there. Homeplus still exists, but I'm not sure if it's still linked to Tesco any more.
Swiss rules and regulations are so strict, you can't even think of not paying taxes: cooperatives customers and workers usually have that mindset so that fits in some way.
Let alone where they're dirty money comes from, their state implementation looks well done in swiss.
The CEO of the Metro supermarket chain confirmed plans to continue business in Russia. The National Agency for Prevention of Corruption included Metro AG in the list of international war sponsors.

I'll take your word for it, but I wouldn't rule out there being some technicality like "one lone Aldi right on the Slesvig border".

Spar is very widespread in Europe, however it is a network of differently owned companies and not one big companies like these others

Aldi has a presence in Australia in major cities, they are generally seen as an alternative to the major duopoly of Coles and Woolworths.
