Mango founder's son steps down as vice-chair amid probe into father's death
Jonathan Andic, the son of Mango's founder Isak Andic, has stepped down temporarily from his position as vice-chair of the fashion group following his designation as a suspect in the investigation surrounding his father's death. A judge indicated that there is considerable evidence suggesting Jonathan Andic 'played an active and premeditated role' in the incident. In a letter addressed to employees, he vehemently declared his innocence, arguing that a skewed public narrative has fostered an unjust perception of guilt. He emphasized that his focus on his legal defense prevents him from fulfilling his duties at the company. Andic referred to his father's passing as an immense personal tragedy and stated he is enduring baseless accusations. The investigation continues.
