Mossos reaffirm inconclusive findings
Two agents from the Mountain Intervention Unit (UIM) of the Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalonia’s regional police force, have testified before a judge in Martorell that they cannot conclude whether the death of Mango founder Isak Andic was an accident or a homicide. The agents, speaking on Friday 13 November 2026 at Instruction Court No. 5 in Martorell, reaffirmed the conclusions of their official report, which stated that neither the cause of Andic’s fall nor the involvement of another person could be determined. Isak Andic died in December 2024 after falling down a ravine at the Cuevas del Salnitre in Collbató during a hike with his son Jonathan Andic, who is now under investigation for alleged homicide.
Simulations yield no clear answers
The Mountain Intervention Unit conducted 10 fall simulations at the site to assess how the incident occurred. According to a court order seen by Europa Press, none of the simulations produced conclusive results on whether the fall began as a stumble or a deliberate push. Agents explained that determining the sequence of events was hampered by environmental conditions: it had rained in the days following the incident, and the area was not secured immediately, leading to contamination of the scene. This has made it impossible to verify the age of a footprint found at the edge of the ravine, which prosecutors believe Jonathan Andic may have created to simulate his father’s last steps.
The causes that led to the fall nor the participation of other people in the events could not be determined.
The agents maintained that producing such a mark, given the tread of Isak Andic’s trainers, would require at least four deliberate scuffing motions with forward and backward pressure, rather than a single slip. However, they could not confirm whether the impression was made before or after the fall.
Financial motive remains central to prosecution
While the Mountain Unit’s findings lean toward non-conclusive, the investigating judge, Raquel Nieto, and the prosecution continue to pursue the case based on a financial motive. Jonathan Andic’s defence team has accused the judge of disregarding the UIM’s report, calling it a relevant and technically sound assessment. Witness testimonies are ongoing, with further hearings scheduled through December. On Monday 16 November 2026, Isak Andic’s notary and the family’s head of services and personnel are due to testify about the relationship and financial tensions between father and son.
