Investigation intensifies into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis

The death of 54-year-old Greek singer Giorgos Mazonakis, who passed away on September 9, 2026, following a plasmapheresis procedure at a private clinic in Kolonaki, remains under intensive judicial investigation. Two doctors have been arrested and are currently in custody facing charges of potential malice homicide. Authorities are examining the events that occurred within the clinic, including evidence of unauthorized operation hours and the administration of sedative substances to the singer during the medical session.

A nurse at the clinic provided testimony to the 32nd regular interrogator, revealing that she had been instructed by the primary physician to maintain a "common line" regarding the events. The nurse stated that multiple plasmapheresis procedures were performed simultaneously by the same doctor, and she confirmed that a sedative was administered to Mazonakis, prompting her to call an anesthesiologist for assistance. Furthermore, she testified that she had warned the doctor when the singer showed signs of distress, only to be dismissed. The Athens Medical Association is currently reviewing data recovered from the equipment, which suggests the clinic operated outside its declared hours and potentially violated safety protocols.

Legal proceedings continue as authorities await the results of histological and toxicological examinations to determine the specific substances used and the exact cause of death. Further investigation will also analyze phone records of the detained doctors to reconstruct the timeline.
