Background of the Incident

The case relates to the death of Isak Andic, who fell from a cliff while hiking in the Montserrat mountains near Barcelona, Spain, in December 2024. He was 71 years old at the time of his death.

Authorities reportedly re-examined evidence, including digital records and witness statements. A judge later suggested there may be indications that the death was not accidental and raised concerns about Jonathan’s alleged involvement.

Investigators also reviewed communication records and testimony from individuals close to the case as part of the renewed inquiry.
