Isak Andic died in plunge down ravine near Barcelona
The family of Isak Andic, the founder of the fashion chain Mango, have insisted on his son’s innocence after media reports suggested he was a potential suspect over the billionaire’s death.
Andic, who was 71, died last December after apparently falling 100 metres down a ravine while hiking at Montserrat near Barcelona with his son, Jonathan. His death prompted tributes from politicians, journalists and the fashion world.
Although an initial investigation by Catalan police, the Mossos d’Esquadra, had viewed it as an accident, officers and judicial sources told El País and La Vanguardia the case was now being treated as a possible homicide.
In a report published on Thursday evening, El País said its sources had described Jonathan’s account of what happened as “inconsistent” and his father’s partner, the golfer Estefanía Knuth, had told investigators “the relationship between father and son was bad”.
