Thursday, May 21Thursday, May 21Jonathan Andic, the eldest son of Mango founder Isak Andic, was arrested on May 19, 2026, by the Mossos d’Esquadra on suspicion of homicide in connection with his father’s death in December 2024. Isak Andic, 71, died after falling approximately 100 meters down a ravine while hiking in the Montserrat mountains near Barcelona, with Jonathan as the only person present at the time . The judge overseeing the case has found evidence suggesting an "active and premeditated" role in the death, citing injuries inconsistent with a simple fall, Jonathan’s repeated visits to the trail, and his alleged financial motives .
Jonathan Andic was released on May 19, 2026, after posting a €1 million bail, avoiding pre-trial detention. The prosecution had initially requested the bail amount, arguing a flight risk due to his financial resources and international connections. To counter this, Andic submitted his marriage certificate and his child’s birth certificate as evidence of his strong ties to Spain, aiming to demonstrate his lack of intent to flee . The judge ruled that he could remain free pending trial, provided he met the bail conditions .
The Andic family has publicly denied the allegations, stating that no legitimate evidence supports the charges against Jonathan. Authorized family representatives have urged caution, citing the confidentiality of the ongoing investigation . Meanwhile, Mango has sought to distance itself from the reputational fallout, focusing on business growth and record financial results amid the scandal .
Jonathan Andic’s professional trajectory has also come under scrutiny. Once positioned as the heir apparent to Mango’s leadership, he was demoted to vice president after the company incurred losses, straining his relationship with his father . His arrest marks a dramatic shift from his former role as a high-profile executive to a central figure in a high-profile criminal investigation.
