BARCELONA: Spanish police said Tuesday they have arrested the eldest son of Mango clothing empire founder Isak Andic over his father’s death during a hiking trip in December 2024.
Jonathan Andic, who was alone with his 71-year-old billionaire father when the retail magnate plunged to his death in the Montserrat mountains near Barcelona, was taken into custody, Catalan regional police said.
Police escorted Jonathan, 45, in handcuffs to a court in Martorell near Barcelona for questioning, according to an AFP reporter at the scene.
Sources close to the family said they had “total” confidence in Jonathan Andic’s innocence, adding that “there is no and will not be any legitimate evidence against him.”
They expressed confidence that “the course of the investigation will demonstrate this,” and called for “respect for the presumption of innocence.”
