Event Summary

Isak Andic, the 71-year-old founder of the fashion empire Mango (fashion), died in December 2024 after falling over 100 meters while hiking with his eldest son, Jonathan Andic, in the Montserrat mountains near Barcelona. Initially ruled an accident, the Catalan regional police are now investigating Jonathan Andic, 44, for possible homicide. Jonathan Andic, who was the only person with his father at the time, has provided inconsistent testimony that did not align with forensic evidence, fueling suspicion. Isak Andic's partner, Estefania Knuth, also testified about strained relations between father and son. The Andic family maintains Jonathan Andic's innocence and is cooperating with authorities. Jonathan Andic assumed the role of vice-chairman of Mango (fashion)'s board and president of its holding company MNG after his father's death. Isak Andic was one of Spain's richest people, with a fortune estimated at $4.5 billion.
