Two doctors remanded in custody following death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis

On September 16, 2026, two doctors from a private clinic were remanded in custody following an 18-hour deposition at the Evelpidon court complex. The medical professionals face upgraded charges regarding the death of the well-known Greek singer Giorgos Mazonakis.

After failing to convince the investigating judge and prosecutor with their testimonies, both defendants were ordered to be transferred to Korydallos prison. While legal proceedings were described as marathon sessions, specific details regarding the male doctor's claims during his testimony were noted for their emotional and public impact.

This decision marks a significant escalation in the ongoing legal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the singer's passing. The suspects will remain in pretrial detention as the judicial authorities continue their inquiry into the medical negligence or potential malpractice allegations linked to the clinic.
