Mango Founder's Daughters Deny Will-Related Family Conflicts

The two daughters of the late Mango founder Isak Andic have refuted claims of family discord regarding their father's will, following his death in December 2024. Sarah and Judith Andic testified as witnesses in a case investigating their brother, Jonathan, who is suspected in their father's death, which was officially ruled an accidental fall during a mountain excursion. The sisters asserted that the division of their father's inheritance was not a source of conflict, explaining that Isak Andic met with his four children annually to agree on the testament, with any prior donations deducted from their final inheritance.

“

the distribution of their father's inheritance was not a cause of disagreement: every year, Isak Andic met with the four children, they agreed on the will and, in the event that any had received an advance as a donation, it was deducted from what they would receive after the founder of Mango's death.

They also dismissed suspicions that their brother's alleged poor relationship with their father stemmed from a desire to remove him from the company's leadership. According to Sarah and Judith, Jonathan had mutually agreed with their father to step down from his executive roles to pursue "personal projects." Their father's plans for Jonathan involved him relinquishing executive responsibilities while remaining on the company board.

“

their brother had agreed with the father to leave the company, from which he wanted to withdraw of his own volition to develop "personal projects".

This testimony contrasts with that of Estefanía Knuth, Isak Andic's partner, who had claimed the deceased businessman intended to alter his will to allocate part of his estate to a social foundation. Prosecutors and the judge are examining this as a potential motive for the alleged homicide. The Andic sisters acknowledged their father's intention to fund such a project and confirmed the children's commitment to fulfilling these social objectives.

“

the intention of the children is to move forward with those plans of social purpose.

Family spokespeople later issued a statement reiterating the sisters' "absolute conviction" in Jonathan's innocence and their belief that "the truth will eventually prevail." Earlier, a psychiatrist who treated both father and son noted that the "inheritance during life" demanded by the accused was a significant factor in their personal friction.

the "inheritance during life" that the investigated person claimed was a crucial issue in their personal friction.
