Mango Founder’s Son Arrested in 2024 Death, Freed on €1 Million Bail

A judge reclassified the hiking fall as a homicide probe under sealed investigation.

Overview

  • Jonathan Andic, who was arrested Tuesday by Catalonia’s Mossos d'Esquadra, appeared before a Martorell judge on a homicide accusation in his father’s death.
  • He secured provisional release after his defense paid €1 million in bail, with his passport seized, a ban on leaving Spain, and weekly court check‑ins ordered.
  • The case was first closed as a mountain accident in January 2025 but was reopened late last year after investigators flagged inconsistencies and took testimony from relatives and Mango’s president.
  • Isak Andic, 71, died on December 14, 2024 after a roughly 150‑meter fall near the Salnitre caves at Montserrat while hiking with Jonathan, who was the only direct witness.
  • His family denies any role for him and asks respect for the presumption of innocence as a sealed inquiry unfolds against a backdrop of inheritance and leadership disputes, including a reported €70 million claim by the founder’s partner.
