The son of Mango clothing company founder Isak Andic has been arrested by Spanish authorities in connection with his father's death, according to reports from multiple news outlets.

Isak Andic, 71, died in December 2024 after falling from a ravine while walking in the Montserrat mountains near Barcelona. The billionaire businessman founded the Spanish fashion retailer Mango, which has grown into one of Europe's largest clothing chains.

Spanish police have now detained Andic's son, though specific details about the charges or circumstances leading to the arrest have not been disclosed by authorities. The detention comes several weeks after the fatal incident occurred in the mountainous region outside Barcelona.

Andic built Mango into a global fashion empire after founding the company in 1984. The retailer operates thousands of stores worldwide and has become a major player in the international fast-fashion market, competing with brands like Zara and H&M.

The Montserrat mountain range, where the fatal fall occurred, is a popular hiking destination located approximately 30 miles northwest of Barcelona. The area is known for its distinctive rock formations and religious significance, housing the famous Montserrat monastery.
