It was shortly after noon on a mild winter day when Isak Andic, the founder of Mango, stopped to photograph the view from a jagged peak outside Barcelona, his son later told police. Jonathan Andic, the billionaire’s eldest child, was the only person hiking with him that day. He claims he walked ahead, ending up a few metres away, out of sight of his father.
Jonathan then “heard the sound of stones falling”. He swivelled around and “saw a body tumbling through the brush”. Isak, the man behind a global apparel chain, was plunging to his death. His son “heard a loud impact and a groan of pain from his father”.
That was the account Jonathan provided to police on December 14 2024, the day a hike on Montserrat, a mountain that is home to a monastery, turned deadly for one of fashion’s richest men.
