Jonathan, was the only person with the businessman when he fell to his death during a mountain walk on December 14, 2024.

Isak Andic who was born in Turkey, who founded Mango in 1984 and was worth $4.5 billion, died after falling more than 328 ft from the cliff in the Montserrat caves near Barcelona on December 14, 2024 in Collbato close to Barcelona.
Reports at the time of the fatal plunge of one of Spain’s richest men, subsequently corroborated by police sources, said his son was walking in front of him and turned round when he heard the sound of falling stones behind him to see his father had gone over the edge of the footpath.
In 2010. Isak Andic was named Spain’s second richest man.his fortune was last estimated at $4.5 billion. He had three adult children Jonathan and two daughters, Judith and Sarah.
Jonathan Andic, 44, was appointed vice-president of Mango’s board and president of its holding company MNG, in the wake of his father’s death. His sisters Judith and Sarah were named as vice-presidents of MNG.

Isak Andic plunged 328 ft to his death in the Salnitre de Collbató caves near Montserrat in the region of Catalonia, Spain on Dec. 14, 2024. He was on a mountain walk with his son Jonathan, the sole witness to the accident

A judge probing the incident had provisionally archived his investigation after finding no evidence pointing to the entrepreneur’s death being a crime. In March, the judge, based at a court in Martorell near Barcelona, reopened his probe into the death of the Andic family patriarch.
Police sources insisted at the time that they were still treating it as an accident. However, in a shock report in Spanish media revealed that the deceased’s son, Jonathan, questioned twice as a witness over the tragedy, was now being investigated on suspicion of homicide.
Jonathan Andic, the sole witness to his dad’s death, has not been formally charged with any crime at this stage, and has chosen to make any public statements regarding these fresh developments. According to a family spokesman, the MNG president wishes to show its respect for the proceedings that have been carried out in this regard and will continue to cooperate with the competent authorities. He ‘is also confident that when this process concludes his ‘innocence will be proven.’

Jonathan’s sisters Judith and Sarah were also elevated to vice-presidents of MNG with the death of their father

By last month investigators began viewing Jonathan as a potential suspect due to contradictions in his witness statements. According to local media reports the search of his phone for potential evidence, yielded a “series of clues” that had led to believe that the ‘accidental fall’ of Isak Andic may not have been a “mere accident,” after all.
At the time police had also questioned Mango co-founder, Estefania Knuth, the last person besides Isak Andic’s chauffeur and Jonathan to see him alive, as well as a local police officer who went to the scene.
Knuth allegedly, told police that the “the relationship between father and son was bad.”
