Son of Mango Fashion Tycoon Detained in Investigation of Father's Death in Spain
Police said inconsistencies in Jonathan Andic’s account and other evidence led investigators to reopen the case as a possible homicide.
- On Tuesday, Spanish authorities arrested Jonathan Andic, 45, on suspicion of homicide in the death of his father, Isak Andic, the billionaire founder of fashion retailer Mango.
- Isak died in December 2024 after falling more than 100 metres in the Montserrat caves near Barcelona while hiking with family members.
- Police reopened the investigation after discovering inconsistencies in Jonathan's statements, examining mobile phones of Jonathan, Judith, and Sarah Andic amid reported tensions between father and son.
- Detained by Mossos d'Esquadra, the Catalan regional police, Jonathan is expected to appear before a judge in Martorell for questioning regarding the homicide investigation.
- The family issued a statement last year expressing confidence in Jonathan's innocence, pledging to "continue to cooperate with the competent authorities" until the process proves his innocence.
