Jonathan Andic grew up within Mango long before occupying an office at the top of the group. He was the eldest son of Isak Andic, the founder who built one of the largest European fashion empires from Catalonia, but those who dealt with him in those years remember a discreet executive, more comfortable in creative and product teams than on the corporate front line. He studied Audiovisual Communication in the United States and later completed his training with an MBA at IESE, before formally joining the family business in 2005.

The Mango business has managed to stay out of the investigation into the death of its founder, Isak Andic, in December 2024. The shock caused by the sudden death of the businessman and the subsequent police investigation have not taken a toll on the company’s business. Sales have grown by 13% and are close to 3.8 billion euros, while profit has increased by 11% and now stands at 242 million euros.

The searches carried out this morning by the Economic and Fiscal Crime Unit (UDEF) of the National Police by order of the judge of the National Court José Luis Calama focus on three consulting, institutional relations, and business services companies.

From reading Shakira’s sentence, it can be inferred that the singer was somewhat like a tax stateless person in 2011. The ruling of the Court holds that it has not been proven that she was a resident in Spain for 183 days for tax purposes, but her defense also did not claim that she was in another jurisdiction during those days. “She had a tax certificate at her home in the Bahamas. But the truth is that she is not a resident for 183 days anywhere because she is actually on an international tour,” says her lawyer, José Luis Prada.

The so-called trial of the century ended with Sam Altman’s victory over Elon Musk, two old friends and collaborators now at odds in the artificial intelligence ring.

The general assembly of Foment del Treball has renewed Josep Sánchez Llibre as president this Monday, who will continue to lead the Catalan employers’ association until 2030.

“You left me with the mother-in-law as a neighbor with the press at the door and the debt to the Treasury,” Shakira sang to Gerard Piqué after their separation. But none of that is real anymore, because the singer left Barcelona and moved away from the mother-in-law. And now the National Court has issued a ruling that exempts her from her famous tax debt and orders the Treasury to return 55 million euros to her. These are the key points of the long dispute between the Tax Agency and the Colombian artist:
