Jonathan Andic has been placed in provisional prison for the death of his father, Isak Andic, founder of Mango, who died on December 14, 2024, after falling down a ravine of more than 100 meters in the Montserrat massif during an excursion in Collbató. The investigating judge number 5 of Martorell, Raquel Nieto Galván, attributes to him a presumed crime of homicide and set a bail of one million euros, paid in less than half an hour.
The turn of events in the case stems from a central contradiction in the investigation. For months, Jonathan Andic maintained that it was an accident, but the Mossos d'Esquadra now conclude that this version is false after more than a year and a half of proceedings and several inconsistencies in his account of what happened on the Coves de Salnitre route.
The judge reopened the case in March 2025 after detecting contradictions
The investigation had been initially shelved, but the court reopened it in March 2025. From then on, the case left the Martorell unit and moved to the Divisió d'Investigació Criminal, based in the Egara complex.
The police procedure comprises 1,400 pages. Jonathan Andic's defense will be handled by Cristóbal Martell, while the investigating judge Raquel Nieto Galván maintains in her order that the investigated showed an "obsession with money."
One of the elements that weighed on the reopening was the location of Isak Andic's phone. The Mossos d'Esquadra found it in his pocket at the scene, which contradicts his son's explanation, who had placed his father behind him taking photographs.
The registration of Jonathan Andic's vehicle's locator is also included in the case file. This system recorded three trips to Montserrat on December 7, 8, and 10, 2024, contrary to his statement that he had only taken a solo excursion fifteen days before the incident.
Investigators cited the mobile phone and previous trips as key elements of the case
The fall occurred at a three or four-meter section without a railing on the Coves de Salnitre route, in Collbató. Three hikers who later visited the spot summarized the doubt that has accompanied the case from the beginning with a specific question about the terrain: "Did he fall there alone?"
Another episode under analysis is the trip that Jonathan Andic made to Ecuador between March 24 and 26. He returned without his phone, claiming a robbery in Quito, and later acquired an iPhone 16 PRO with a WhatsApp account without previous conversations.
The case also incorporates the family and patrimonial context. Jonathan Andic had been dismissed from his position at Mango after negative results for the business, a decision that opened a rift with his father.
In that context, a psychoanalyst who was treating father and son advised Isak Andic to give his inheritance during his lifetime to Jonathan to repair the damage from the dismissal. Later, in 2024, Jonathan learned that his father was planning a foundation for vulnerable people that would reduce the patrimony he would inherit.
Mango earned 242 million in 2025 while the family prepares the defense
The economic dimension of the case also runs through the investigation. Mango closed 2025 with a net profit of 242 million euros and the Andic family plans to allocate resources to the judicial defense opened after the indictment for alleged homicide.
The court set the most severe precautionary measure for Jonathan Andic, although it allowed him to avoid jail with a high bail. The one-million-euro bail was paid in less than half an hour, according to the ruling by Raquel Nieto Galván.
