Mango founder Jonathan Andic’s son arrested on suspicion of involvement in his death

The son, Jonathan Andic, 45, was the only witness. The 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 murder.

Jonathan Andic was taken to court in Martorell, a town in eastern Spain where the case is being investigated, said a spokesman for the Catalan regional police, Mossos d’Esquadra, who spoke on condition of anonymity on Tuesday in line with the department’s policy.

The case is subject to a confidentiality order, he added.

Jonathan Andic is the eldest of Isak Andic’s three children and one of his father’s heirs. He is vice chairman of the board of directors of Mango, one of Spain’s largest retailers.

Isak Andic’s family moved from Turkey to Spain at a young age. He opened Mango’s first store in Barcelona in 1984 and helped Mango become one of Europe’s leading fast fashion makers in the decades that followed.

Mango has 2,900 stores in 120 markets around the world. The fashion group’s turnover reached a record high of almost 3.8 billion euros ($6.2 billion) in 2025, an increase of 11 percent compared to the previous year.
