Key Facts
Jonathan Andic, Isak’s oldest son, told employees he needs to focus his attention on defending himself in an ongoing homicide case against him and, therefore, “cannot maintain the high levels of dedication required by my role in the company.”
Andic was arrested last week in the death of his father, who died after falling on a hike in 2024, but was not formally charged with a crime and later released on €1 million ($1.16 million) bail.
Andic’s legal team and family have said he is innocent, and Mango CEO Toni Ruiz told employees Tuesday he stands by the founder’s son.
