"My father has fallen. I don't see him, he doesn't answer me": Jonathan Andic's call to 112

Barcelona"I need help, my father has fallen. We are in Collbató and he has fallen [...] I think he fell down a ravine". These were Jonathan Andic's first words in his call to 112 after his father, Isak Andic, fell down a ravine on a hike 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 fell down a ravine", says the son of the Mango founder in a later conversation with a technician from the Emergency Medical 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 at the Martorell courts. "Please, send someone, send an ambulance...", repeats the son of the Mango founder in the first part of the conversation with Emergencies, just before clarifying that it all happened on the path to the Caves of Salnitre, "right at the beginning", he specifies. Later, he is asked 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 contact, according to the published audio, is with a firefighter, to whom he confirms 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 where he is, just after he said "the problem is I don't know where it is". There is also a moment in the call when Jonathan Andic's cry of supposed desperation can be heard.

"Nobody who can premeditate a fall like this would then show such 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 detective agency Método 3 and expert hired by the defense. "Nobody 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 Mossos investigation, which points to Andic as the alleged murderer: "He is innocent, absolutely innocent," he claimed.

The background of the messages to the father

The call has spread after the Prosecutor's Office opposed the appeal by which Jonathan Andic was asking for the precautionary measures to be withdrawn: the one-million-euro bail to avoid provisional prison, the withdrawal of his passport, and the prohibition of 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 about "the method and circumstances" in which his father died and warns of the risk of flight.

Among other things, it relies on 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 the progress of therapy 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 longer message with "a positive narrative and tone from beginning to end".
