The son of Mango's patron (arrested for the murder of his father) pays one million euro and avoids jail time
Isak Andic died in 2024 falling off a cliff near Barcelona. His son, now detained by the police, was with him
The investigating magistrate who questioned Jonathan Andic, son of Mango founder Isak Andic, today imposed a bail of one million euros on the 45-year-old businessman accused of murdering his father in December 2024. The magistrate of the court in Martorell, accepting the request of the Public Prosecutor's Office, ordered the bail together with precautionary measures, including the withdrawal of his passport and the obligation for the accused to report weekly to the court offices, according to the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia.
Jonathan Andic - assisted by criminal lawyer Cristobal Martell, one of Spain's best-known lawyers - has posted bail and is back on bail, pending trial, reports Efe. He had been arrested this morning by the Mossos d'Esquadra as part of the investigation into the circumstances of his father's death, initially attributed to a mountain accident, then reopened in the light of new clues and still covered by secrecy.
The turning point in the investigation into the death of Isak Andic, the historic founder of the famous Spanish fashion brand Mango, who died on 14 December 2024 while hiking in Montserrat, Catalonia, came today, when the Mossos d'Esquadra, the Catalan police, arrested his eldest son, Jonathan, on murder charges. The businessman, who has always maintained that his father had accidentally fallen during a mountain hike, was then transferred to the Martorell court for further interrogation.
Jonathan Andic has always denied any responsibility for his father's death and maintains that it was an accidental fall during a mountain hike. In January 2025, the case concerning the death of Isak Andic was dismissed due to lack of evidence of foul play. Subsequently the case was reopened and the investigation focused on the entrepreneur's eldest son who was with him at the time of the accident. Last year, the family expressed confidence in his innocence, after several local media reported that he was officially under investigation for possible murder. Isak Andic died after falling more than 100 metres off a cliff while hiking with family members in the caves of Montserrat, near Barcelona.
