The death of Isak Andic, founder of Mango, during an excursion to Montserrat with his son, has triggered a legal case with multiple interpretations and defense strategies.

The death of Mango's founder, Isak Andic, in an accident during an excursion to Montserrat with his son, Jonathan Andic, has garnered significant media attention. The incident, initially appearing to be a tragic accident, has evolved into a police investigation with doubts surrounding the circumstances of the fall down a ravine in Collbató.
The Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan Police) opened proceedings that led to the son's arrest and a court order for imprisonment, later commutable with bail. From this point, a "war of narratives" has erupted between the investigation and the young man's defense.
Jonathan Andic's defense team, led by criminal lawyer Cristóbal Martell, has hired the detective agency Método 3. This strategy has resulted in the leak of audiovisual material and audio recordings aimed at countering the police version.
Among the evidence released by the defense is a video showing Isak Andic falling months before the fatal incident, suggesting a pre-existing health condition. The audio recordings of Jonathan Andic's calls to emergency services (112), alerting them to his father's fall and urgently requesting help, have also been made public.
These new pieces of evidence have shifted the focus of the case, which initially seemed to lean towards the investigation's account. The defense has also attempted to discredit the work of the Mossos d'Esquadra and the investigating judge, questioning their experience in complex cases, particularly in anticipation of a future jury trial.
