"My father has fallen. I don't see him, he doesn't answer me": Jonathan Andic's call to 112
The audio is one of the pieces of evidence that the defense wants to use to rebut the investigation into the death of the founder of Mango
Barcelona"I need help, my father has fallen. We are in Collbató and he has fallen [...] I think he has fallen down a ravine". These were Jonathan Andic's first words in his call to 112 after his father, Isak Andic, fell down a ravine during an excursion in Montserrat. The audio of the call, a partial transcription of which had already emerged, was published this Monday by El matí de Catalunya Ràdio. "My father has fallen. But I can't see him, he's not responding. He has fallen down a ravine", states the son of the Mango founder in a later conversation with a technician from the Medical Emergency Service (SEM).
The call, during which Andic can be heard crying and at times struggling to express himself, is one of the pieces of evidence the defense wants to use in the investigation for alleged homicide in the Martorell courts. "Please, send someone, send an ambulance...", repeats the son of the Mango founder in the first part of the conversation with Emergències, just before clarifying that it all happened on the path to the Caves of Salnitre, "right at the beginning", he specifies. Later, they ask him his father's age - he replies 71 -, he says the place cannot be accessed by car and denies being able to give any information about the height of the ravine: "I don't know, I can't see him, he's not responding", he insists.
Jonathan Andic's second interlocutor, according to the published audio, is a firefighter technician, to whom he confirms that he was with his father at the time of his tragic end. "Yes, correct," he replies when asked. Finally, in the third conversation with the SEM technician, in which he is informed that a doctor and a nurse are on their way by helicopter, he is asked to send the exact location of the point where he is, just after he has said "the problem is that I don't know where it is." In the call, there is also a moment when Jonathan Andic's cry of supposed desperation is heard.
"No one who can premeditate a fall like this then shows this desperation. Actors and actresses could, but [if not,] it is materially impossible", he pointed out in statements also to El Matí de Catalunya Ràdio Francisco Marco, former director of the Método 3 detective agency and expert hired by the defense. "No one who intends to simulate this scenario simulates it like this", he insisted. Marco, however, has reiterated on several occasions that the audio is further proof to demonstrate that there is a "biased discourse" in the investigation by the Mossos, which points to Andic as the alleged killer: "He is innocent, absolutely innocent", he claimed.
The background of the messages to the father
The call has been disseminated after the Prosecutor's Office opposed the appeal filed by Jonathan Andic requesting the lifting of precautionary measures: the one-million-euro bail to avoid provisional prison, the withdrawal of his passport, and the prohibition from leaving the country. In its response to the defense's appeal, the public ministry points out that there are indications in the case that "contradict" the version of the family's firstborn regarding "the method and circumstances" of his father's death and warns of the risk of flight.
Among other things, it refers to messages that are part of the case, and in one of them, from July 2024, Jonathan Andic reminded his father of their "discussions" within the framework of therapy progress to resolve their disagreements: "I'm not surprised you thought I was capable of even killing you," he stated in a message. The Andic family has responded to these messages by stating that they are phrases "taken out of context" that are part of a more extensive message with "a positive narrative and tone from beginning to end."
