Son of Mango Founder Arrested and Released Under Bail in Probe of Father’s Death

A judge says there are sufficient indications of a premeditated homicide and has imposed travel restrictions and weekly court check‑ins on the suspect.

Overview

  • Catalan police arrested Jonathan Andic on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, and questioned him about the December 14, 2024 fall that killed his father, Isak Andic, during a walk at Montserrat; Jonathan was the only person with his father that day.
  • A judge ordered his release on €1 million bail and placed him under judicial supervision with passport withdrawal, a ban on leaving Spain, and mandatory weekly appearances at the court of Martorell.
  • Court documents and police reports cite forensic anomalies at the scene and in the autopsy — a rounded scuff mark described as deliberate, a fall compared to a “toboggan” and no defensive hand injuries — that investigators say are inconsistent with an accidental slip.
  • Investigators also point to digital and testimonial concerns including contradictory versions given by Jonathan, the replacement and erasure of his phone and deleted backups, and prior visits to the trail that prosecutors view as signs of planning.
  • The inquiry remains active and secret under instruction by the examining court; the case will proceed through Spain’s judicial process while Mango has kept corporate communications separate from the family’s statements and public interest remains high.
