Regulatory scrutiny surrounding the Arçelik acquisition
The acquisition attracted scrutiny because Dawlance Electronics had reportedly changed hands at a much higher valuation than its reported 2013 sale price. The State Bank of Pakistan sought clarification about the transaction and possible offshore connections, and temporarily froze accounts associated with Bashir Dawood under anti-money-laundering concerns. The available reference records inquiries and allegations rather than a definitive finding that the Dawlance brand committed wrongdoing.
