The son of the billionaire Mango founder, Isak Andic, who died in a fall from a cliff two years ago, has been arrested over the death of his father.
Jonathan Andic, 45, was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of homicide and appeared in handcuffs before the courthouse in Martorell, a city near Barcelona.
His 71-year-old father died after falling more than 100 metres while hiking with members of his family in the Montserrat caves near Barcelona in December 2024.
A spokesman for Mossos d’Esquadra, the Catalan regional police, said: “I can confirm the detention of Jonathan Andic on suspicion of the homicide of his father, Isak Andic.”
Spanish media reported at the time that Andic fell down a ravine to his death while hiking in an area which is part of the Montserrat mountain range.
The empresario (Isak Andic) was with Jonathan when the accident happened. A large-scale emergency operation was launched using helicopters and search and rescue teams, but Andic suffered multiple injuries and died at the scene.
On Tuesday(19), the Andic family issued a statement in which it said: “Jonathan Andic is appearing before the court in connection with the accident which occurred on December 14 2024.
“At this moment, we cannot add more because a secrecy order has been placed over the case. Our collaboration has and will be total.” (The Independent)
