The death of Isak Andic is not a usual police and judicial investigation. And it is not so because the account of the Mossos, the prosecutor, and the judge of Martorell is built on circumstantial evidence. These indications range from the behavior of his son and sole investigated person, Jonathan Andic, in the days before the events, to the messages between father and son, the contradictions in the investigated person's statements, the analysis of the deceased's autopsy, and also the study of how the fall of the Mango founder occurred and the marks it left on the ground.

They were months of total secrecy. Only a few people within the Mossos d'Esquadra knew that the death of the owner of Mango, Isak Andic, on December 14, 2024, was not being investigated as an accident; that they believed it could be a homicide, and that they suspected his son Jonathan. In fact, they even tapped the phone of the eldest son of the Andics for a season, but the measure did not yield results and the police opted to confiscate his phone. After a few months, on May 19, Jonathan Andic was arrested as the alleged perpetrator of his father's death; an action that only a few in Mossos also knew about in advance.

The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a 41-year-old woman in Sant Salvador de Guardiola (Bages) as the alleged perpetrator of the violent death of her partner, a 46-year-old man. The events occurred in February in Manresa. A man was admitted to the hospital and ended up dying. Initially, no obvious signs of criminality were found on his body, but the investigation has taken a turn.

Dentists without a degree, rusty metal instruments that they later inserted into the mouth and expired or non-approved medications. Clients with oral infections. All this happened in two fraudulent dental clinics in Olesa de Montserrat and Esplugues de Llobregat, which have already been sealed by the police and closed by the judicial authority. On June 17, the Mossos d'Esquadra arrested five people between 32 and 60 years old as alleged perpetrators of crimes of identity theft, fraud, professional intrusion, and assault. These would be four fake dentists and a clinic owner.

Which city would top a ranking of the world's major cities with the fewest homicides? And in what position would Barcelona appear? The fact that nine murders have occurred in six months has generated insecurity – especially for residents living near the scenes of the crimes – and criticism from the opposition, both in the Generalitat and the municipal government. As this newspaper has learned, the same number of crimes have been committed in Barcelona in six months as in the whole of last year, and the vast majority are linked to organized crime – such as the execution on Carrer Balmes – and clan disputes.

Up to 78 burglaries in houses and, in addition, five set on fire. This is what is attributed to two young men who in the autumn of 2024 alerted the Horta de Lleida, an area separate from the city. Finally, after arresting the first person involved in July 2025, the Mossos d'Esquadra have managed to arrest the alleged second perpetrator of the acts, a 24-year-old man with a dozen police records. The arrest, however, was not easy.

He was a white-skinned man, bald, with several tattoos all over his body and dressed in sportswear, with a Barça jersey and bermuda shorts. He was dead, lying on the ground on Balmes street, in front of a police station. He had been shot in the head. The police station cameras showed the whole scene: another white-skinned man, dressed in a beige t-shirt and bermuda shorts, with a helmet in one hand and a pistol in the other, had approached him and shot him in the back. Who was the victim? This is one of the first questions the investigators from the Mossos d'Esquadra asked themselves as they searched for the perpetrator, who left the weapon, the helmet, and a mobile phone at a bus stop in Gal·la Placídia and fled.

Jonathan Andic has been defending himself since the Mossos d'Esquadra arrested him as the alleged perpetrator of his father's death. Judicially, by filing a technical and extensive appeal that denies the evidence incriminating him to try to have the restrictive measures currently against him lifted, such as the passport withdrawal or the one million euro bail with which he has managed to avoid going to prison. But also, in the media, trying to reverse the "social condemnation" that his defense claims he suffered when he was arrested. Nevertheless, the judge, the Mossos, and the prosecutor in the case are all heading in the same direction: they believe there are sufficient grounds to indict him.

Barcelona has experienced a tense afternoon due to a clash between two opposing demonstrations. The Mossos d'Esquadra have dispersed with baton blows several anti-fascist demonstrators who wanted to overcome a police cordon separating them from another concentration of the neo-Nazi group Núcleo Nacional, in front of the Spanish government's delegation in Catalonia.

Three people have died this Saturday in a few minutes and in different parts of Catalonia while doing outdoor activities, as reported by the security forces of the Generalitat in a statement. It is an eighteen-year-old boy who drowned while bathing in the Llobregat river, in Berguedà; an elderly man who had done a scuba dive in Cadaqués, and a third person who died after falling down a mountain ravine in the port of Medacorba, in Pallars Sobirà.

The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a man and a woman as alleged perpetrators of the violent death of another man in Berguedà. The victim's lifeless body appeared on April 15 in the Baells reservoir and after a month and a half of investigation, the police have been able to solve the case. According to El Punt Avui and confirmed by ARA, the arrests were made this Thursday.

When a street shooting occurs, the Mossos d'Esquadra immediately consider whether it could be related to drug trafficking. And, in recent months, whether these drug traffickers could be from Eastern Europe. They do this after several almost identical murders have been attributed to these mafias, and now they are also investigating whether the constant revenge between Eastern clans is behind the latest crime, the one on Balmes street, there are also the constant revenges between Eastern clans.

Six people shot dead in three months. This is the balance of the latest firearm incidents in Catalonia that greatly worries the police. The first was registered at the end of March during a shooting in a music bar in Badalona and the latest took place this Tuesday in the upper part of Barcelona, coinciding with the visit of Pope Leo XIV. The second to last, however, was two days ago, this Sunday in the Zona Franca. On the same street, in fact, there was a new shooting execution fifteen days earlier.

It was ten minutes to ten in the morning at the intersection of Balmes street and Granada del Penedès street, in the upper part of Barcelona. The terraces were full and a National Police office for issuing ID cards and passports was already open. Suddenly, a shot was heard. There was a rush and witnesses explain that they hid inside the premises. A man dressed in a dark jumper, from which a Barça t-shirt protruded, and wearing shorts, lay on the ground bleeding. He had just been shot in the head. There was only one detonation. Another man, wearing a beige t-shirt, also shorts, with a bicycle helmet in one hand and a pistol in the other, fled down Granada del Penedès street in the direction of Via Augusta.

It was the afternoon of May 16 when a man was shot in the head on Carrer de la Mineria in Barcelona, in the Zona Franca. Despite attempts to revive him, the man died. Twenty-three days later, another man walking down the same street in the city was shot several times in the back. The story repeated itself: it was a Sunday afternoon, with many neighbors in the street, and despite resuscitation attempts, he ended up dying. These are two practically identical types of homicide, frequent among drug clans seeking revenge. Due to the proximity and similarities, when the Mossos investigators arrived at the crime scene this Sunday, they asked themselves a question: could the two crimes be related?

Rarely has Catalonia been so fortified as for the visit of Pope Leo XIV. Police sources speak of an unprecedented and extraordinary operation, which will mobilize more police officers than ever before (up to 7,000) and which bears the name Albus. The Mossos have chosen it because it means white in Latin and white is the color of the pontiff's usual attire, becoming his most recognizable visual symbol.

The Prosecutor's Office has asked the Martorell judge investigating the death of Mango's founder, Isak Andic, to order a reconstruction of his fall. This means that the public ministry wants the businessman's son and sole suspect, Jonathan Andic, to return to the Collbató caves to clarify what happened, according to ACN. The Prosecutor's Office has requested several investigative measures, now that the investigation is no longer secret, among which the return to Collbató with the suspect present stands out.

A national police officer shoves and throws to the ground a person who was peacefully protesting in Valencia. He does so like a bad policeman, with disproportionate force for the situation, which was a protest by teachers who were going to block a street's traffic. A bad policeman and a bad person: he makes her fall like a coward, from behind, without the woman being able to see him coming, and from the blow he delivers, he breaks her nose when the woman hits the ground with her face. But even more outrageous is the response of the police unions to the Spanish government delegate, Pilar Bernabé: “You will not investigate anything [...]. You already assume someone's guilt [...]. If you go out to block streets, you expose yourself to being kicked out.” In reality, there is not much to investigate, because the policeman's guilt is demonstrated in the video. And it is one thing to expose yourself “if you go out to block streets” and another is to have to endure the gratuitous violence of someone who feels impunity because they are uniformed.There are police officers who complain about the same thing: that the times when people saw a police officer and obeyed without a word are already history, that now people confront them and have violent attitudes, because it's not just that they no longer instill fear, but they have also lost authority. But then comes the vicious cycle: for them to be believed, the verbal and physical attitude of some officers is increasingly surly, and even more preemptively aggressive, by default, to begin by demanding respect, which only increases the distance between two worlds that barely touch or know each other anymore, such as that of citizens and that of the police, because people only see police officers passing by locked in cars and we assume they are behind the street surveillance cameras. And thus, another link between citizenship and public authorities is being severed.

One of the turning points in the investigation into the death of Isak Andic, founder of Mango, was when the Mossos d'Esquadra accessed the content of his mobile phone. There they found several conversations in derogatory terms with his son, Jonathan Andic, the person with whom he was on a route through the Collbató caves on the day he died. The judge in the case speaks of messages "of hatred, of resentment, of ideas of death". As the ARA reported a few months ago, these messages were part of a kind of therapy that the Andic's son was undergoing with a coach and which the Mossos used to focus even more on the firstborn. Now, the judge is asking to delve even deeper into the figure of this therapist.

Night of riots in Mataró. The Mossos d'Esquadra had already reinforced their uniformed presence in the Cerdanyola neighborhood of the capital of Maresme after an eviction this Tuesday ended with three minors arrested for throwing blunt objects, such as paving stones, at the police line. These actions against the police, however, were repeated at night, according to Mossos sources. A group of young people burned a dozen containers and threw stones and incendiary devices at the police. In total, the Mossos made five arrests, four of them minors.
