At that time, @ MANGO China's official blog also issued an official announcement.

Mountain Range The preliminary investigation by the police station identified it as an accident, but according to the in-depth investigation, the police found that there were only Isak Andic and Jonathan Andic's father and son at the scene at the time of the incident. When reviewing Jonathan Andic's testimony, it was found that there were many inconsistencies between his description and the previous one. "There are ambiguities in the testimony and contradictions with the evidence on the spot".

Mango stores Mango was founded in 1984 by Isak Andic and is headquartered in Barcelona. The brand name was inspired by his experience tasting mangoes while traveling in the Philippines. Subsequently, Isak Andic quickly opened dozens of stores in Spain and abroad, starting in neighboring Portugal and France, all under the name Mango. De Vicente, Mango's global retail director, said,"Isak Andic realized that having all stores with the same name and the same brand would make the concept even stronger." Before his death, Isak Andic was the fifth-richest man in Spain, with a net worth of approximately US$4.5 billion and a total family asset of more than 8 billion euros.

As of June 30, Mango had 2,925 stores in more than 120 markets worldwide, opening 78 new stores and renovating 30 in the first half. International markets and physical retail are brand sales core, contributing 78% and 69% of revenue respectively. Mango had a data breach However, a recent data breach in Mango led to unauthorized access to the brand’s marketing service provider, resulting in the customer’s personal information being leaked. Mango sent notifications on 14 October to affected customers about the data breach. According to Mango, the leaked data covered customer names, countries, postal codes, postal addresses and telephone numbers, and did not involve sensitive information such as bank accounts, identity cards / passports, login credentials and passwords, and the company’s internal systems were not affected. What was originally thought to be an ordinary mountaineering accident has developed into a suspense drama about family competition for property in the fashion circle, or has affected the company's management process standards. As of now, the investigation into the case is still in progress and Jonathan Andic has not been formally charged. Regardless of the outcome, it has raised new propositions for European fashion corporate governance, property inheritance and public oversight. South Korean video reporter.
