The son of Mango's founder detained on suspicion of murdering his father

Law enforcement agencies of Catalonia have confirmed the detention of Jonathan Andic, the son of the founder of the Spanish clothing design and retail company Mango, Isak Andic, who died in 2024.

This was reported by BAKU.WS with reference to TASS.

"We confirm the detention," the regional police stated.

As reported by the newspaper La Vanguardia, Jonathan Andic is accused of murder. He has always denied his involvement in his father's death, insisting that it was an accident. The detainee has now been brought to court for questioning.

One of the wealthiest people in Spain died at the age of 71 in December 2024 as a result of an incident in the mountains. At that time, he fell from a slope. Initially, the case was closed, but then the investigating court in Catalonia announced its decision to reopen the investigation into the circumstances of the Mango founder's death. As local media reported, there were inconsistencies in the son of Andic's testimony.

The Mango chain was founded in 1984 in the autonomous community of Catalonia by Turkish-born businessman Isak Andic. According to Forbes magazine, he was fifth on the list of the wealthiest people in Spain.

Mango has approximately 2,900 points of sale worldwide. The company closed the 2024 financial year with a record sales volume exceeding 3.3 billion euros.
