US EditionMango clothing chain founder Isak Andic's death in Spain unresolved, as police reportedly make son a suspect

- The Andic family released a statement refusing further comment, saying 'The Andic family has not and will not comment on Isak Andic's death in all these months' while cooperating with authorities and confident Jonathan will be proven innocent.
- Despite intense review, police call the case complex and unresolved; during the 10-month probe investigators found no conclusive evidence, and the ongoing investigation remains under judicial secrecy.
