Jonathan Andic, son of Mango founder Isak Andic, said on Tuesday he was stepping down temporarily as the fashion group’s vice chair after being named a suspect in an investigation into his father’s death, while strongly asserting his innocence.“The attention and focus that my defence in the judicial process currently requires do not allow me to maintain the high level of commitment demanded by my role at the company,” Andic said in an open letter to staff.“A public narrative has been constructed that is one-sided, taken out of context and distorted, and which has ⁠created a perception of guilt that bears no relation to ‌reality. I know that dismantling it will require time, effort and intense dedication.”
