Will the business partnership between the new controlling shareholders at IDB Holding Corp. Ltd. (TASE:IDBH), Eduardo Elsztain and Moti Ben-Moshe, stand the test of time? Quite a bit has been written about the differences in the two men’s personalities, as well as their different approaches to business.
Another disagreement broke out a few days earlier over the appointment of IDB Development chairman Aharon Fogel as chairman of its subsidiary, Discount Investment Corporation (TASE:DISI). Ben-Moshe urged the appointment, but Elzstain opposed it. They ultimately decided to appoint Fogel as a director on Discount Investment’s board, at least for now.
Sources close to Elsztain and Ben-Moshe told “Globes” that the tense atmosphere is exacerbated by Dankner’s investigation into Ben-Moshe’s businesses. Last week, Dankner filed a motion with the court that included additional findings about Ben-Moshe, including a probe by the German energy regulator into ExtraEnergie GmbH, owned by Ben-Moshe.
Ben-Moshe and Elsztain said in response, “We are happy with the partnership, and succeeding in working together to meet all the challenges. We do not respond to rumors.”
