Cineworld Boss Mooky Greidinger Handed 6-Month Suspended Sentence And $28,000 Fine In Israel

Mooky Greidinger, CEO of exhibition giant Cineworld, has been handed a six-month suspended prison sentence and a £23,000 ($28,000) fine by Israeli officials over a breach of anti-trust law.

Because of the scale of the companies, the competition authority placed conditions on the deal. One of those was to supply all wide-release titles to cinemas in Israel that requested them. Some 600 movies have since been released via the companies.
The Lev Cinema in Tel Aviv claimed that it was not provided with eight movies over the course of the intervening 10
