Maccabi Tel Aviv Basketball Co-Owner Richard Dexter Accuses Partner of Deceit
Richard Dexter, a co-owner of the Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball club, has confirmed he is seeking urgent legal relief and initiating arbitration proceedings. This action follows his partner, Oded Recanati, transferring 7.5% of the club's shares to Jason Levin.
Dexter responded to a statement from Shimon Mizrahi, a club legend, stating that while he respects Mizrahi, he disagrees with his characterization of partners. Dexter accused Mizrahi of hypocrisy for allegedly slandering partners and accusing him of disloyalty for remaining loyal to Maccabi. Dexter highlighted his own 13-year tenure supporting the club without causing trouble or seeking publicity, always working to mend rifts between partners.
Dexter expressed his belief that legal matters should be resolved in court or arbitration based on facts and law, not in the public sphere. He acknowledged that fans and media would follow the proceedings but urged them to focus on the team's performance on the court, led by coach Oded Kattash and captain John DiBartolomeo.
