In brief
Jonathan Andic, the son of Isak Andic, the founder of the fashion brand Mango, has been arrested by Catalan police as part of an ongoing investigation into his father's tragic death from a cliff fall in December 2024. Initially treated as an accident, the case's reopening has sparked media interest amid allegations of potential inconsistencies in Jonathan's statements. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting his innocence as the family stands by him during the inquiry process.
Jonathan Andic, 45, the son of Mango founder Isak Andic, has been arrested in connection with his father's death. Isak Andic, 71, fell from a ravine while hiking in the Montserrat mountains near Barcelona with Jonathan in December 2024.
The initial investigation treated Isak's death as an accident. However, following a series of inconsistent testimonies from Jonathan, authorities reopened the case in early 2025. Jonathan has denied any responsibility for the incident, maintaining his innocence throughout the investigation.
A spokesperson for the family expressed confidence in Jonathan's innocence while he was questioned by authorities. After being taken from his home for further interrogation, he appeared before a judge who set bail at €1 million and required him to report to court weekly.
Jonathan joined Mango in 2005 and became vice-chairman after his father's passing. The fashion empire, founded in 1984, operates nearly 3,000 stores in 120 countries and was valued at $4.5 billion at the time of Isak's death.
Mango's CEO has expressed that Isak’s death has left a significant void but emphasized the company's commitment to honor his legacy.
