Overview
- Investigators moved off the initial accident theory and are now probing whether the Mango founder’s December 2024 fall in Montserrat was a homicide, focusing on his son Jonathan as the only eyewitness.
- Sources say Jonathan’s procedural status shifted from witness to investigated in late September, and police obtained and are analyzing his mobile phone after earlier checks of the victim’s device.
- El País reports that officers noted contradictions between Jonathan’s two statements and findings from scene inspections, which helped prompt the change in investigative hypothesis.
- Testimony from Estefanía Knuth, the founder’s partner, described strained father–son relations, a context reported alongside a separate inheritance dispute that is being handled outside the criminal case.
- The Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia says the case is not procedurally directed at any specific person, and the family has expressed confidence in Jonathan’s innocence and continued cooperation with authorities.
