Police in Spain's Catalonia region detained Jonathan Andic, son of the late Mango fashion group founder Isak Andic, on Tuesday as part of an investigation into his father's death, the Mossos police force confirmed. Isak Andic died in December 2024 after falling more than 100 meters (328 feet) from a cliff while hiking with family members near the Montserrat caves outside Barcelona.
Investigation Details
The Mossos police stated that Jonathan Andic was taken into custody for questioning related to the ongoing probe. A family spokesperson acknowledged that Jonathan was being questioned by investigators but declined to provide further details. Local media had previously reported that Jonathan was under official investigation for possible homicide, a claim the family firmly denied last year, expressing confidence in his innocence.
Background of the Case
Isak Andic, the billionaire founder of the global fashion retailer Mango, died in a tragic accident during a family outing. The incident occurred in the rugged terrain of the Montserrat caves, a popular hiking destination. The investigation has now taken a significant turn with the detention of his son, though authorities have not released specific evidence or charges.
The Andic family has maintained a low profile regarding the legal proceedings, emphasizing their trust in the judicial process. The case continues to draw media attention due to the prominence of the Andic family and the circumstances surrounding the death.
