Spanish authorities have reopened the investigation into the December 2024 death of Mango founder Isak Andic, 71, originally ruled an accident during a hike in Montserrat, Spain. Contradictions in the testimony of his son Jonathan, 44, who was his father's only companion on that hike, have raised suspicions. Although no direct evidence exists, the case is now being treated as a potential homicide.
Also of note is the fact that Isak Andic’s partner, Estefanía Knuth, has highlighted strained relations between father and son.
