Ofer Nimrodi, born May 23, 1957, is an Israeli jurist, businessman, and former publisher. Ofer, together with his father, Yaakov Nimrodi, and other members of the Nimrodi family, own a large group of companies and enterprises, primarily in the fields of real estate, the media, and energy. ==Biography== Ofer Nimrodi was born in 1957 in Iran, where his father, Colonel Yaakov Nimrodi, served as the Military Attaché and Head of the Representation of Israel's Ministry of Defense (Israel). On completion of his mandate, the family stayed for several more years in Iran as the father became a successful businessman. Later on they returned to Israel and since then have been living in Savyon. In the IDF, Ofer served as an artillery battery Commander in the Artillery Corps, and later as Commander of Brigade Support. He was discharged in 1979 and three years later fought in the First Lebanon War. He graduated cum laude from the Tel Aviv University Law School with an LLB, did his articles with the late Supreme Court Judge Miriam Ben Porat (later the State Comptroller), and with the late Tel-Aviv District Attorney Naomi Stern, and was admitted to the Israeli Bar. In 1989 he graduated from the Harvard University Business School in the United States with a Master of Arts in Business Administration. In 1988, Yaakov Nimrodi purchased the Israel Land Development Company from the Jewish Agency. A year later, Ofer was appointed its CEO. In 1992 the family purchased the Ma'ariv newspaper, after the passing of its previous owner Robert Maxwell. Ofer was appointed Publisher and Editor-in-Chief. Nimrodi served an 8 month prison sentence during 1998-1999 for ordering illegal wiretapping while serving as the Editor-in-Chief of Ma'ariv. In 2000, he received a 25 month prison sentence for obstruction of justice, which was served concomitantly with an originally suspended 12 month sentence handed for his 1998 conviction. The decision not to add the 12 months to his prison-time was criticized by the State Prosecutor's office upon his release in 2002, expressing concerns that Nimrodi had recidivist tendencies.〔(Haaretz report 2002 ).

The family has commemorated her by making a generous donation to Variety Israel, an organization attending to children with special needs. Its center in Jerusalem carries her name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ofer Nimrodi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
