Mango Founder’s Son Arrested in Homicide Probe Over Father’s 2024 Mountain Fall

A Spanish judge advanced the case after investigators flagged inconsistencies plus forensic findings.

Overview

  • Jonathan Andic, 45, was arrested Tuesday in Catalonia on suspicion of killing his father, Mango founder Isak Andic, who died during a 2024 hike near Barcelona.
  • He appeared in the Martorell court, where the judge set €1 million bail, ordered him to surrender his passport, and required weekly check-ins.
  • The investigation, now under judicial secrecy, was reopened in 2025 after police and prosecutors cited conflicting statements and examined phones belonging to Jonathan and his sisters.
  • A judge’s writ referenced a strained father–son relationship, a possible financial motive, alleged prior study of the site, and an autopsy that “practically rules out slipping or stumbling.”
  • The family says Jonathan is innocent and is cooperating, and the case could carry governance and reputational stakes for Mango, which the three Andic siblings largely control.
