Overview
Jonathan Andic was arrested on Tuesday by Catalan police in connection with his father's December 2024 death and was released on €1 million bail with his passport surrendered and weekly court appearances ordered, a court spokesperson said.
Isak Andic died in December 2024 after falling roughly 320 to 500 feet down a ravine while hiking in the Montserrat mountains near Barcelona, authorities said.
The Andic family said there is no legitimate evidence against Jonathan Andic and that he is cooperating fully, and defense lawyer Cristobal Martell called the homicide theory inaccurate, the family and lawyer said.
Mango operates roughly 2,900 stores in about 120 markets and posted record sales of €3.8 billion, and Forbes estimated Isak Andic's net worth at $4.5 billion.
The case is being investigated as a possible homicide and remains under judicial oversight, with Andic ordered to stay in Spain and report weekly as the inquiry continues, officials said.
