Ongoing investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis
The investigation into the death of Greek singer Giorgos Mazonakis, who suffered a cardiac arrest during a plasmapheresis session at a medical office on Karneadou Street in Kolonaki on September 9, 2026, is intensifying. Prosecutors have authorized the inspection of digital devices, including six mobile phones belonging to the singer, the two detained doctors Ioanna Gaka and Ilias Theodoropoulos, and three clinic staff members, covering the period from July 11 to September 10, 2026. Additionally, the legal representation has shifted as lawyers Nikos and Tellos Agapinos resigned from defending Gaka, while continuing to represent her husband, citing "factual differences" in their respective defense strategies.
Recent testimonies from clinic staff have highlighted chaotic moments during the medical procedure, with nurses recalling the doctor alerting her husband that the singer was unwell. One staff member reported hearing mentions of "adrenaline," "defibrillators," and potentially "propofol" or "sedation" during the emergency. While the detained doctor categorically denies administering sedatives, the authorities are scrutinizing the operations and equipment of the medical facilities. Further investigations continue as the Council of Misdemeanors finalizes the formal review of the confiscated digital data.
