The son of Mango founder Isak Andic has been arrested in connection with his father's death.

Jonathan Andic, 43, was detained by Catalan police on Tuesday as part of a renewed investigation into the death of the fashion tycoon, which was initially treated as an accident but was later reopened.

Isak, 71, died in December 2024 after falling from a ravine while walking in the Montserrat mountains near Barcelona with his son. There have been conflicting media reports about whether they were alone or if other family members were present.

Jonathan has previously denied responsibility for his father's death.

A family spokesperson told Reuters that Jonathan was being questioned and that the family was confident of his innocence.

He joined Mango in 2005 and later oversaw the company's Mango Man line. He became vice-chairman of the board after his father's death.

Investigators in Catalonia initially closed the case in early 2025 after finding no evidence of criminal wrongdoing but reopened it later that year, claiming there were inconsistencies in Jonathan's testimony, the La Vanguardia newspaper reported.

Jonathan was taken from his home shortly after 11:00 local time (09:00 GMT) where he was questioned by police again. He was expected to be taken to a court to testify before a judge later on Tuesday, the paper added.

Born in Turkey, Isak founded Mango with the help of his brother, Nahman, in Barcelona in 1984 and the chain now operates almost 3,000 outlets in 120 countries.

At the time of his death, Forbes estimated the businessman's net worth to be $4.5bn (£3.6bn).

Mango CEO Toni Ruiz previously said Isak's death would "leave a huge void" and added: "All of us are, in some way, his legacy and the testimony of his achievements".

"It is up to us, and this is the best tribute we can make to Isak and which we will fulfil, to ensure that Mango continues to be the project that Isak aspired to and of which he would feel proud."
