Spanish police have quizzed a Barcelona-based British translator who revealed that she was the woman who picked a hiking trail near to where Mr Andic fell to his death while trekking with his son. The translator told police she was acting under instructions from the Andic family's therapist, Maria Julia Luderwaldt, who wanted to subject the father and son to an extreme situation.
Spanish police quizzed a Barcelona-based British translator who revealed that she was the woman who picked a hiking trail near to where Mr Andic fell to his death while trekking with his son.
The translator told police she was acting under instructions from the Andic family's therapist, Maria Julia Luderwaldt, who wanted to subject the father and son to an extreme situation. The therapist had aimed to try to help the Mango heir free himself from the emotional ties she believed shaped his life. The British woman is understood to have handed police all the messages she had exchanged with the therapist, La Vanguardia reports.
In one message where she asked Luderwaldt what had happened on the hike after news of the fatal plunge emerged, the therapist is said to have replied: 'Maybe it's better if I don't know, just in case I'm the next one.
' La Vanguardia said the British national had given two statements to police, one on June 29 when accompanied by a lawyer she decided to reveal over two hours what she had kept quiet during 'a year and a half of sleepless nights' and a second on July 6 in an interview lasting four hours. On the second occasion she was reportedly shown photos of the area on the scenic Feixades Path in the Montserrat Mountain where Isak Andic fell.
She is said to have done the walk with Jonathan a week before his dad's death, but told police she couldn't identify the specific location from the pictures. The translator is now set to be called to ratify the statements in front of a judge and face new questions, as has already happened with other witnesses including the mental health professional she says asked her for help with the walking route.
Maria Julia Luderwaldt is one of the witnesses who appeared in court in Martorell near Barcelona on June 30 so she could be questioned by the judge who made Jonathan Andic a homicide suspect. Her behind-closed-doors court appearance followed reports she intervened in favour of Isak Andic giving his son a significant sum of money so he could pursue a series of professional ventures on his own and Jonathan could try to step out from under his father's 'powerful shadow.
' Isak's golfer girlfriend Estefania Knuth, the first person Jonathan called after his dad plunged to his death, was another of the four people who appeared before investigating judge Raquel Nieto the same day to give evidence. Jonathan Andic has insisted his 71-year-old dad's death was a tragic accident and not a crime.
The investigating judge, who allowed him to go free following his arrest after he posted one million euros bail, outlined the reasons for her decision to make him a homicide suspect in an extraordinarily explicit 17-page legal document released to the press. She outlined the 'bad relationship' Andic had with his dad when he died in the December 14, 2024, fall, initially treated as an accident.
She also highlighted how he had done a recce of the route they took in the Montserrat mountains where the Turkish-born business mogul lost his life during the pair's walk together. She referenced Jonathan's 'obsession' with money and revealed police studies showed the marks left on the ground where Isak Andic plunged to his death did not coincide with a simple slip, a claim the arrested man's lawyers are contesting.
The female judge, who authorised the May 19 surprise arrest, also revealed Mr Andic's under-investigation son had claimed the old phone he was using when his dad died had been stolen during a trip to Ecuador. The translator, who occasionally worked with Luderwaldt, told investigators Jonathan Andic was supposed to force the extreme situation by 'standing on the edge of a cliff' with his dad.
