La muerte del fundador de Mango: ¿accidente u homicidio? Lo que llevó al arresto del hijo

Hace más de un año, la muerte de Isak Andic, fundador de la firma de moda española Mango, causaba conmoción. Pero lo que en un principio se consideró un accidente esta semana dio un drástico giro y puso en el centro de la escena a Jonathan, el hijo de Andic, como presunto autor de su homicidio, según el auto de prisión provisional.

El caso se remonta al 14 de diciembre de 2024, cuando el CEO de Mango perdió la vida tras caer montaña abajo en medio de una ruta que realizaba junto a su hijo cerca de las cuevas de Salnitre, enmarcadas en el macizo de Montserrat, unos 40 kilómetros al noroeste de Barcelona.

El 20 de diciembre de ese mismo año, se determinó que la muerte había sido accidental y el caso quedó archivado. Pero, poco después, el 30 de enero de 2025 —y por interés de la Unidad de Investigación de Mossos d’Esquadra (la policía autonómica de Cataluña)— se decretó su reapertura.

La respuesta se encuentra, entre otros factores, en los trabajos de investigación realizados por este cuerpo de seguridad, que recabaron información suficiente como para que la jueza de la plaza 5, sección de instrucción del tribunal de instancia de Martorell, considerara que había indicios para descartar una muerte accidental.

Esta causa consta de más de 1.400 folios, según detalla la magistrada en el auto en el que solicitaba la prisión provisional para Jonathan Andic. En ellos se precisan las pesquisas realizadas hasta el momento.

Si bien el grueso de la causa recae únicamente sobre las partes, algunos detalles de estas investigaciones han trascendido a raíz de los motivos esgrimidos por la jueza de instrucción de Martorell para solicitar la detención del actual vicepresidente de la junta directiva de Mango como presunto autor del delito de homicidio.

En ese auto de detención, la magistrada considera que las diligencias practicadas hasta este mes de mayo apuntan a que la muerte de Isak Andic no sería accidental, sino que el hijo podría haber tenido “una participación activa y premeditada en la muerte de su padre”.

En un comunicado emitido por la familia el mismo martes 19 y remitido a CNN por sus representantes, se defiende la inocencia de Jonathan Andic. En el mismo, el abogado del investigado, Cristóbal Martell, expresa que “la conjetura del homicidio es inconsistente. Pero, sobre todo, es dolorosa”. “Estigmatiza a un hombre inocente”, prosigue Martorell, “ahora comienza auténticamente el proceso y brillará la verdad y la inocencia”.

La familia agrega que los argumentos de la defensa se presentarán en el momento procesal oportuno y en sede judicial. En la audiencia del 19 de mayo, jornada de su detención, Andic declaró a preguntas de su letrado.

La jueza tomó su decisión tras desgranar siete indicios.

En primer lugar, dice que existirían contradicciones entre las declaraciones prestadas por Jonathan el mismo día de los hechos, 14 de diciembre; la segunda, prestada el 31 de diciembre de 2025, y la del 19 de mayo de este año, cuando se ordenó su detención provisional.

Algunas de estas contradicciones, dice la jueza, son que, en su primera declaración, Andic dijo que el día de los hechos iba caminando unos metros delante de su padre, este se detuvo a tomar unas fotografías con su teléfono celular y, mientras él caminaba, escuchó un ruido de piedra cayendo, volteó y vio un cuerpo rodando entre los matorrales. En contraste, en su segunda declaración dijo que él y su padre acostumbraban caminar juntos y hablar, pero no lo vio utilizar su teléfono durante el recorrido.

Jonathan Andic salió en libertad el mismo miércoles tras abonar una fianza de 1.000.000 de euros, equivalente a US$ 1.160.925, y acord

Stephen Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ finale sets a weeknight ratings record

(CNN) — “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” went out on a literal high note.

Thursday night’s series finale was the most-watched weeknight episode of Colbert’s eleven-year tenure on the show, according to overnight Nielsen ratings.

Colbert and co. averaged 6.a74 million viewers, even beating his first episode as host back in 2015, which averaged 6.55 million viewers.

The ratings results must be bittersweet for Colbert since it wasn’t his choice to sign off. CBS decided last summer to cancel the show, citing financial pressures evident across the late-night TV landscape.

Late-night talk shows like “The Late Show” have been shedding viewers for years in an increasingly fragmented media environment. Many fans who used to watch at 11:35 p.m. simply catch up later on YouTube or via social media.

In the first quarter of 2026, “The Late Show” averaged about 2.7 million viewers a night, according to CBS.

But Colbert’s finale had all the markings of big-event TV. His two main rivals, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and NBC’s Jimmy Fallon, both opted to air repeat episodes on Thursday night, knowing most eyes would be on Colbert’s show. And Kimmel strongly encouraged his viewers to flip over to CBS for one night only.

The sendoff ended with a big performance of Colbert singing “Hello Goodbye” with ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, alongside Elvis Costello, Louis Cato and Jon Batiste.

So it’s not necessarily surprising that the final episode of “The Late Show” set a ratings record.

Still, it’s a striking result, especially since it was an extra-long episode, which meant viewers stayed up even later than usual to see it through.

The ratings record comes with some caveats: Colbert reached more than 20 million viewers for a special Sunday episode after the Super Bowl in 2016; and “The Late Show” routinely drew larger audiences during the David Letterman era, before YouTube and other platforms offered people infinite viewing options.

Letterman’s farewell episode in 2015 scored 13.7 million viewers.

Going forward, TV analysts have predicted that Kimmel and Fallon will absorb some of Colbert’s usual audience now that “The Late Show” has ended.

CBS won’t attempt to recreate Colbert’s show. The replacement, a roundtable comedy talk show called “Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen,” bears little resemblance to “The Late Show.”

“Comics Unleashed” largely avoids topical humor because the episodes are designed to be replayed later. As a result, the show lacks the political commentary that has come to define much of Colbert’s run.

It currently airs after “The Late Show” at 12:35 a.m. and averages about 1.1 million viewers.

Now that “Comics Unleashed” is moving to 11:35 p.m., another show made by Allen’s production company, “Funny You Should Ask,” is moving into the late-late time slot.

Crucially for CBS, the time periods will be immediately profitable for the network. Allen has paid to lease the airtime through a “time buy,” and he would recoup his costs by selling advertising during the shows.

“I want to bring people together using comedy,” Allen said on “CBS Mornings” this week.

Steve Hilton pitches “Cali-ffordability” campaign in California governor’s race

Kraig Pakulski 0 22 Article rating: No rating

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.—Steve Hilton says California’s rising housing costs, crime, and overall cost of living are pushing residents and businesses out of the state — and he believes voters are ready for political change.

The Republican gubernatorial candidate spoke with News Channel Reporter Mina Wahab about his campaign platform and how he hopes to turn a historically Democratic state into a Republican victory.

“I just see the struggles so many people and small businesses have,” Hilton said. “We got to turn that around. We've got to save California.”

The former Fox News host and former adviser to British Prime Minister David Cameron is running on what he calls a “Cali-ffordability” platform focused on lowering costs for Californians.

Among his proposals: lowering gas prices, cutting electricity bills, making the first $100,000 of income tax-free, ending taxpayer-funded health care for undocumented immigrants, and increasing housing affordability.

“$3 gas, your electric bills in half, your first 100 grand tax free,” Hilton said. “A home you can afford to buy. So those are the five immediate things that I want to focus on in terms of helping people.”

Hilton argues that what he describes as excessive government regulation and taxation are driving up the cost of living across the state.

“And that's driven by the growth of the bloated, bureaucratic government in Sacramento,” Hilton said. “So that's actually the mission — to cut that all back so that we can lower costs and lower the burden of regulation.”

A major part of Hilton’s tax proposal is aimed at working-class Californians.

“Your first 100 grand tax free — that'll help everybody in California, but it disproportionately helps those who are working class Californians working incredibly hard, on incomes that are really not that high considering how much everything costs in California,” he said.

Hilton also pointed to crime, homelessness, and drug addiction as issues he believes state leaders have failed to adequately address.

“I think reversing the prison closure program, increasing prison capacity so we can have more accountability and more rehabilitation, I think is a really important part of it,” Hilton said. “The other part of it is actually implement at the state level something that nearly 70% of Californians voted for, which is Prop 36.”

Despite his message, Hilton faces a difficult path in a state where Democrats maintain a significant voter registration advantage.

Still, Hilton says his campaign is aimed not only at Republicans, but also independents and moderate Democrats frustrated with California’s direction.

“It’s not healthy to have one party running everything for this long,” Hilton said. “We don't have any balance in California in terms of our government right now.”
