Ongoing investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis

Greek authorities are conducting a detailed investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis, who passed away on September 9, 2026, during a plasmapheresis procedure at a private clinic in Kolonaki, Athens. Two doctors, Ioanna Gaka and a colleague, have been remanded in custody following the discovery of incriminating forensic evidence from the medical device and deleted digital files, including photos and videos taken during the procedure. Forensic reports indicate critical device alarms regarding venous pressure occurred between 14:25 and 15:45, raising serious questions about the professional conduct of the medical team.

Legal scrutiny has expanded to include the role of a hypnotherapist, Nasos Komianos, who admitted to receiving a photograph of the singer during the procedure from Gaka, claiming it was for professional purposes. Meanwhile, the Athens Medical Association has denied approving the medical equipment used, asserting that no authorization for such procedures was ever granted. The prosecutor of the Athens Court of First Instance has ordered an urgent five-year investigation into the regulatory oversight of the clinic and the Medical Association itself. Future proceedings will include the lifting of the telecommunications secrecy of the involved doctors to map their contacts and determine the full extent of the incident.
