In Figueres and in many sectors of the citizenry, there is a feeling that Kimberli’s death could have been avoided. The woman was stabbed to death this Tuesday at the hands of her ex-partner, a man who had been convicted only 24 hours earlier for abuse and against whom a restraining order was in place, which he violated twice in one day with the outcome that is already known.
Xi Jinping has received Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in less than a week at his palaces in Beijing. It is normal for the official Chinese press to boast and consider that their country “is at the epicenter of world diplomacy.” More distant with the former and more affable with the…
The 430 members of the Global Sumud Flotilla intercepted on Monday off the coast of Cyprus by the Israeli navy have been transferred to Israel, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Tuesday night to Wednesday. “The 430 activists have been transferred aboard Israeli ships and are heading to Israel, where they will be able to meet with their consular representatives,” said a ministry spokesperson.
Chinese President Xi Jinping may have been formal in his welcome to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, this Wednesday at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. However, he chose to call for “an immediate cessation of all hostilities in the Middle East,” noting that their reactivation would be “even more serious.” At the end of their meeting, both leaders signed a joint declaration in favor of “a multipolar world.” Otherwise, according to them, the current “disregard for international legality” and global institutions leads us to “the law of the jungle.”
The music that was heard a few days ago found its score this Wednesday in the Florida courts. The untouchable Raúl Castro, historic Cuban leader aged 94, brother of the great leader Fidel and former president of the country, was indicted by a grand jury on various charges related to the downing of two planes from the organization Brothers to the Rescue in 1996, when he was Minister of Defense. Four people died.
The homicide charge against Jonathan Andic has caused deep shock among the staff of Mango, the company founded by his father, Isak Andic, and of which the accused still holds the vice presidency. The fashion firm is cautious and strives to separate the business from the police proceedings. But the seriousness of the facts and the unease of the thousands of Mango workers have forced it to act.
The project that Isak Andic had been developing for years to dedicate part of his millionaire fortune to social causes ended up becoming, according to the judicial investigation, one of the main sources of tension with his son Jonathan. The possibility that the founder of Mango modified his will to leave part of the family fortune to a foundation now appears at the center of the case investigating the death of the businessman in Montserrat in December 2024.
One detail stands out in the investigation into the death of Isak Andic, founder of Mango, during a walk with his son Jonathan in Montserrat in December 2024. It is the trace of the alleged slip that caused what could have been an accidental fall, which has become one of the clues the judge uses to understand that what happened that day was not an accident.
On December 14, 2024, Isak and Jonathan Andic were not alone on the Montserrat mountain. Father and son parked their vehicles in the Collbató parking lot from which the Les Feixades path starts, a slippery but simple trail that connects the Salnitre caves with the Montserrat monastery. After barely ten minutes, the 71-year-old businessman fell into the void and died from the severe injuries of the impact. The son, who was released on Tuesday after posting a bail of one million euros and is accused of homicide, took four minutes to make the first call and it was to his father’s partner, Estefanía Knuth. Two minutes later he alerted 112 to ask for help. After half an hour, two climbers who had been practicing sport in the massif appeared on the trail and approached Jonathan, alerted by his cries of distress, according to sources familiar with the investigation that La Vanguardia has been able to learn.
The United States Department of Homeland Security collaborated with the Spanish police in the money laundering investigation that led to the case opened by the National Court against the former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, according to a department spokesperson, a fact that already appeared in the order of the National Court judge who charged him with allegedly leading a network of influence peddling and money laundering, which represents a new setback for the left-wing Government, already harassed by other corruption scandals.
