Judge Rules There Is Evidence to Treat Mango Founder’s Death as Non‑Accidental

Overview

• Isak Andic, founder of Mango, died after falling about 150 metres at Montserrat on 14 December 2024 while hiking with his son; the original accident file was archived in January 2025 and later reopened.
• A judge in Martorell has concluded there is enough evidence to consider the death non‑accidental and to allege active, premeditated participation by his son Jonathan, who was detained in Barcelona this week, posted about €1 million bail and is barred from leaving Spain.
• Investigators point to forensic findings at the scene — footprint patterns, the position of the body and injury details — that they say do not match a simple accidental slip.
• Prosecutors also cite contradictions in Jonathan’s accounts, reports he visited the trail several times in early December and the disappearance of his mobile phone around the time the case was publicised; Jonathan and his lawyer deny the allegations.
• The case has corporate and family consequences because the heirs jointly control the holding that owns Mango and the inquiry will continue with further forensic analysis and judicial steps that could affect inheritance and company governance.
