Ownership transition following the Lucona affair
Demel's owner Udo Proksch was arrested in connection with the Lucona affair. The subsequent ownership transition resulted in Raiffeisen Bank becoming the owner of the business. The affair concerned Proksch personally and affected Demel through its ownership, rather than being described as a product or operating scandal involving the confectionery.
