The death of Isak Andic, founder of Mango and one of Spain's wealthiest individuals, has generated significant media attention. After more than a year and a half of investigation, the Mossos d'Esquadra are convinced that Jonathan Andic, the victim's son, was responsible for the homicide, despite his claim that it was an accident. Judge Raquel Nieto Galván of the Court of Instruction number 5 in Martorell has charged Jonathan Andic with homicide and ordered provisional detention with a one-million-euro bail, which was promptly paid.
Jonathan Andic's legal team, led by the renowned lawyer Cristóbal Martell, has begun reviewing the 1,400 pages of the case file. Their strategy will focus on refuting each piece of evidence presented by the investigators and the prosecution, aiming to establish reasonable doubt and avoid a jury trial. The Andic family firmly believes in Jonathan's innocence and is prepared to allocate all necessary resources for his defense.
The Mossos d'Esquadra emphasize the importance of treating this case with the same diligence as if it involved ordinary citizens, demonstrating their commitment to justice regardless of the wealth of those involved. The police investigation suggests that the father-son relationship deteriorated significantly after Isak Andic dismissed Jonathan from his responsibilities at Mango, a move that investigators believe caused considerable frustration for the son.
Initially, Isak Andic's death was classified as an accident and the case was dismissed by the judge. However, in March 2025, new evidence and inconsistencies in Jonathan Andic's statement led to the reopening of the investigation. The substitute judge, Raquel Nieto Galván, took over the instruction, transferring the case to the Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) due to its complexity. During this period, the disappearance of Jonathan Andic's mobile phone during a trip to Ecuador was deemed suspicious by the judge.
The contradictions in Jonathan Andic's account of the excursion to Montserrat where his father died are central to the case. While he claimed Isak had stopped to take photographs, the police found the victim's mobile phone in his pocket. Furthermore, checks on Jonathan's car's GPS tracker revealed he had visited the area three times prior to the incident, not once as he had stated. These discrepancies support the investigation's homicide hypothesis.
