Jonathan Andic, the eldest son of Isak Andic Ermay, a Turkish and Spanish citizen and founder of Mango, one of Spain's major textile companies, who is accused of killing his father, was released conditionally from court on a 1 million euro bail.
Jonathan Andic, detained this morning by the Catalan regional police, testified before the judge of the 5th Investigative Court in the Martorell district of Barcelona as a suspect in the death of his father, who died on December 14, 2024, after falling from a cliff in the mountainous area of Montserrat, north of Barcelona.
"RELEASED ON 1 MILLION EURO BAIL"
It was reported that Jonathan Andic, who was released after paying the 1 million euro bail set by the judge, had his passport confiscated, was subject to a travel ban, and was required to sign in at the court once a week.
Meanwhile, according to news in the Spanish press, Jonathan, the eldest son of Mango's founder, gave a statement lasting more than an hour and only answered questions from his lawyer, Cristobal Martell.
STATEMENT FROM THE ANDIC FAMILY
Additionally, the Andic family, in a written statement on the matter, defended Jonathan Andic's innocence, stating that they are "convinced that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence against him and that there never will be."
