Investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis continues in Athens

The investigation into the death of popular singer Giorgos Mazonakis, who collapsed during a medical procedure on September 9, 2026, at a clinic on Karneadou Street in Kolonaki, has moved into the formal indictment stage. Authorities are examining the legality of medical equipment used in the facility, while a 56-year-old nurse has provided testimony contradicting her initial account. She admitted that the clinic's doctors instructed staff to maintain a specific version of events and claimed ignorance regarding the legality of the equipment, including a defibrillator that reportedly malfunctioned during the emergency.

The 32nd regular investigator has requested a full audit of communications involving all implicated individuals, including two doctors who are currently in custody. The suspects have decided not to challenge their detention at this time, aiming to wait for further evidence before potentially seeking electronic surveillance release. Meanwhile, public discourse has intensified following revelations of private messages between the singer and his physician regarding the high costs of treatments. Lawyer Charalampos Lykoudis, representing the Mazonakis family, has condemned the nurse's testimony as "orchestrated" to protect the 58-year-old lead doctor. Hypnotherapist Nasos Komianos has also addressed his involvement, expressing regret over his professional association with the clinic.
