Son of Mango fashion chain founder posts bail over father’s fatal cliff fall

MADRID (AP) — The son of Isak Andic, the billionaire founder of the Spanish fashion brand Mango, posted bail of 1 million euros ($1.15 million) on Tuesday following his arrest for alleged homicide in connection with a renewed investigation into the death of his father in 2024.

Andic, 71, was hiking with his son, Jonathan, in the mountains near Barcelona when he fell about 150 meters (about 500 feet) down a cliff and died in December 2024.

Jonathan Andic, 45, who is the vice chairman of Mango, one of Spain’s biggest retailers, was the only witness. Police opened an investigation but closed it a few weeks later. It was reopened in March 2025, and in October police confirmed the death was being investigated as a possible homicide.

Jonathan Andic was taken to a court in Martorell, a city in eastern Spain, where the case is being investigated. After answering questions from his lawyer, the judge set bail which was posted shortly afterward, court said.
