Irish multi-millionaire sues rabbi over ‘indecent proposal’

TAKE one Irish multi-millionaire businessman, a rabbi and another man’s wife. Throw in $1m and some sexual innuendo and what you get is a ‘Jewish Indecent Proposal’.

The case has not surprisingly attracted international attention, with its echoes of the infamous 1993 Hollywood film Indecent Proposal, starring Robert Redford and Demi Moore.

The businessman at the centre of the case is Brian Maccaba, CEO and founder of Dublin-based international technology company Cognotec. He denies claims by Rabbi Dayan Yaakov Lichtenstein that he made a $1m offer to another man to take his wife for life.
