Mango founder’s son arrested over father’s mountain death plunge in Spain
Jonathan Andic is now vice-chairman of the board following the death of his father, Isak, during a hiking trip in 2024
Isak Andic died after falling more than 100 metres (330 feet) from a cliff while hiking with family members near the Mediterranean city of Barcelona. His death was initially treated as an accident, but police in Catalonia later said it was being investigated as a possible homicide.
The family confirmed Jonathan Andic was being questioned by investigators, but declined to provide details.
“The cooperation has been and will remain total,” it said of Jonathan Andic, who police said was detained on Tuesday and remains in custody.
The Andic family repeated it was confident of his innocence. The court handling the case said last year that the investigation was not directed at any specific individual.
He was expected to be transferred to an investigating court to testify before a judge soon, police said, adding that the investigation remained under seal.
