Spanish police are investigating the sudden death of the Mango clothing empire’s founder Isak Andic as a possible homicide, with his son as the key suspect, Agence France-Presse writes.<\/p>\n
Andic, 71, who founded one of Europe’s largest fashion groups with around 2,800 stores worldwide, plunged to his death while hiking in mountains outside Barcelona in December last year to widespread shock.<\/p>\n
Police in the northeastern region of Catalonia have now shifted their probe from an accident to a possible homicide centring on his son Jonathan Andic, El Pais daily said, citing “different sources with knowledge of the investigation”.<\/p>\n
Jonathan, who was the only person with his father at the time of the incident, has provided “inconsistent” testimony in two declarations that has “fuelled suspicion”, El Pais said.<\/p>\n
“The witness contradicted himself, left grey areas and described events that did not match up” with the Catalan police’s inspection of the scene in the Montserrat mountains, the newspaper added.<\/p>\n
Catalan police were unavailable for comment.<\/p>\n
Istanbul-born Isak Andic was one of Spain’s richest people, with Forbes estimating his and his family’s fortune at $4.5 billion.<\/p>\n
Andic opened his first shop in Barcelona in 1984. His Mango brand quickly mushroomed across Spain and became one of the world’s leading fashion groups.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
