The son of a billionaire fashion mogul whose clothing company sells apparel across the United States was heard tearfully telling cops his dad had "fallen" in a 911 call released Monday.
"I need help, my father has fallen!" Jonathan Andic is heard in audio mountains near Barcelona when he fell about 500 feet down a cliff and died in December 2024. His 45-year-old son was the only witness. Jonathan was arrested in May as authorities announced they were investigating Isak's death as a possible homicide.
According to Catalunya Ràdio, the phone call is one of the primary pieces of evidence the defense will provide in the case.
"My father has fallen, I can't see him, he doesn't answer me, he has fallen down the ravine, I don't know where he is," Jonathan can reportedly be heard saying.
Jonathan, who took over the global fashion empire with his sisters after their dad’s death, was released on one million euros bail and ordered to surrender his passport while remaining in Spain during the investigation, Reuters reported.
The younger Andic has denied wrongdoing, and the family has maintained his innocence.
"There is no legitimate evidence against him, nor will any be found," the Andic family said in a statement, according to homicide investigation.
Isak, who was born in Istanbul, moved to Catalonia in the northeast of Spain in the 1960s and founded Mango in 1984. He built it into a global group seen as a rival to Zara.
Isak was considered one of Spain’s richest businessmen and built Mango into one of Europe’s largest clothing retailers with a presence in more than 100 countries.
At the time of his death, he was non-executive chairman of Mango with a net worth of $4.5 billion according to Forbes
Jonathan Andic is the eldest of Isak Andic's three children and one of his father's heirs. He has been the vice chairman of the board at Mango.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Mango and defense lawyer Cristobal Martell for comment.
