"Although an initial investigation by Catalan police, the Mossos d'Esquadra, had viewed it as an accident, officers and judicial sources told El Pais and La Vanguardia the case was now being treated as a possible homicide. In a report published on Thursday evening, El Pais said its sources had described Jonathan's account of what happened as inconsistent and his father's partner, the golfer Estefania Knuth, had told investigators the relationship between father and son was bad."
"The Andic family has not and will not comment on Isak Andic's death in all these months. However, they wish to show their respect for the ongoing investigations and will continue to cooperate with the relevant authorities, as they have done so far. They are also confident that this process will be concluded as soon as possible and that Jonathan Andic's innocence will be proved."
Isak Andic, founder of the fashion chain Mango, died at 71 after apparently falling about 100 metres down a ravine while hiking at Montserrat near Barcelona with his son, Jonathan. Catalan police initially viewed the death as an accident, but investigators later treated the case as a possible homicide after finding a series of clues and inconsistencies in accounts and learning that the relationship between father and son was strained. A judge changed Jonathan's status from witness to possible suspect. The Andic family issued a statement asserting cooperation with authorities and expressing confidence that Jonathan's innocence will be proven. The Mossos d'Esquadra declined to comment while the judicial investigation continues.
