The magistrate investigating the death of Mango founder Isak Andic has requested that the possible involvement of "third parties" in the incident be further investigated, focusing specifically on the role of the family psychologist, according to the ruling accessed by Europa Press.
The Court of Instruction 5 of Martorell (Barcelona), in a resolution first reported by 'El País', considers the diligence measures proposed by the Mossos d'Esquadra to be "suitable, necessary, and proportionate," given the seriousness of the case. Consequently, it agrees to investigate both the potential influence of the family psychologist, through the analysis of conversations and messages, and the possible participation of other individuals.
Furthermore, it requires the telephone operator of Jonathan Andic (son of the deceased and the sole suspect in the homicide) to send "all communications" made between March 21 and 26, 2025, dates that coincide with a quick trip to Quito (Ecuador), where he claims his mobile phone was stolen.
The judge argues that, given the set of indications that could incriminate him, it is essential to carry out various checks to clarify the circumstances of Isak Andic's death in 2024 and "to determine with exactitude the possible participation" of his son, as well as of third parties who may have intervened.
She emphasizes that the gathered indications, as already pointed out in the ruling for provisional detention subject to bail, show that the circumstances described by the son "do not correspond to reality and, therefore, it cannot be ruled out that there was active, premeditated, and prepared participation" in the businessman's death.
Sole suspect in the homicide
For now, the sole suspect is Jonathan Andic, although the investigating judge is requesting his telephone company to also provide details of incoming and outgoing calls and messages between December 1 and 17, 2024, with the aim of "shedding light" on the excursion proposal he made to his father and verifying if other people were involved in that process.
With this request to the operator, the judge intends to determine if the son—who was Isak Andic's only companion when he fatally fell down a ravine in Collbató (Barcelona)—communicated with more people than he has admitted in his statement, and at what times he did so.
Along the same lines, it orders to gather information from the 6 mobile phone companies with coverage in the Collbató area to confirm Jonathan Andic's presence on December 7 and 10 and to find out if other people could have been with him "who could have been related to the events on December 7, 10, and 14, 2024".
Inheritance and family relationship
The investigating judge also instructs the Mossos d'Esquadra to access the victim's messaging messages between December 1 and 14, 2024, in order to check if economic issues related to the inheritance were discussed, such as the creation of a foundation, and the possible consequences of these decisions on the distribution of the estate.
The judge adopts this measure after stating in the order for provisional detention, which can be avoided by bail, for Jonathan Andic that the investigated person had an "obsession" with money, to the point of requesting an inheritance from his father during his lifetime.
Regarding the bond between father and son, which Jonathan Andic described as "a relationship without disagreements," the magistrate points out that the analysis of WhatsApp messages reflects a different situation, to the extent that the son even asked for an inheritance during his lifetime, which the father accepted to maintain contact with him, a point on which the family psychologist may have influenced, according to the judge.
Contradictions in the son's account
Among the "inconsistencies" detected, the investigating judge highlights, firstly, that Jonathan Andic proposed to his father to go on a route through Montserrat (Collbató area) on December 9, five days before the alleged accident and not two weeks before, as he declared to the police, and that he set the departure time at 7:15 AM, even though in winter it is still dark at that hour.
Jonathan Andic stated that it was "usual" for them to go for walks together, but the judge notes that Isak Andic's service staff stated that it was not a frequent practice, a fact that was confirmed after reviewing the victim's mobile phone conversations from the last 10 years.
Secondly, Jonathan Andic declared that he knew the area because some friends had recommended it to him and that he had traveled it four times, something that is disproven by the license plate readers in Collbató, which placed the investigated person's private vehicle there only three times in December (on the 7th, 10th, and 14th, the latter being the day of the fall), with no record of other accesses with another car in his name.
Regarding the moment of the fall, in his first statement Jonathan Andic explained that he was walking three or four meters ahead of his father, as Isak Andic was taking photos. This version is refuted because the victim's phone shows that the last photograph was taken at 12:17, while the incident occurred at 12:28, according to the Central Unit of Forensic Information.
In a second statement, he said he heard a noise of stones and saw a lump falling, and, finally, in the call to the SEM, he stated that he saw his father fall and how he shouted: "These are three completely contradictory versions," the judge concludes.
