Jonathan Andic arrested over the suspicious death of his father, Isak Andic, during a hiking trip.
The incident occurred in December 2024 in the Montserrat mountains near Barcelona.
The initial investigation treated the death as an accident but was reopened due to inconsistencies in Jonathan's account.

Spanish police have arrested Jonathan Andic, the eldest son of Mango founder Isak Andic, in connection with his father's death during a hiking trip in December 2024. The incident took place in the Montserrat mountains near Barcelona, where the 71-year-old retail magnate fell approximately 500 feet from a cliff while hiking with Jonathan, who was the only witness present, according to SCMP and CBS News.

Jonathan Andic was initially questioned by police and denied any wrongdoing, asserting that his father's fall was accidental. After the investigation was briefly closed for lack of evidence of foul play, inconsistencies in Jonathan’s testimony prompted authorities to reopen the case in October 2025, according to BBC and India Times.

Family members have expressed their confidence in Jonathan's innocence, emphasizing that “the course of the investigation will demonstrate this” and requesting respect for presumption of innocence. The family also referenced a history of tense relationships between Jonathan and Isak Andic and mentioned conflicts regarding Jonathan’s role and responsibilities within the company Mango, as reported by CBS News and India Times.
