Medical Association requests new charges in Mazonakis death case

On October 5, 2026, the Athens Medical Association (ISA) filed a comprehensive supplementary memorandum with the investigating magistrate regarding the ongoing case of George Mazonakis’ death. The association is requesting that additional criminal charges for false statements be filed against the two physicians who are currently held in pre-trial detention.

The investigation into the incident has uncovered that the medical staff misled the ISA on three separate occasions. Specifically, the physicians are accused of intentionally concealing the use of a plasmapheresis machine during the procedures that led to the fatal outcome. This deliberate deception has exacerbated the legal situation of the defendants, raising significant concerns regarding potential medical malpractice and breaches of professional ethical standards.

Authorities are continuing their probe into the specific circumstances surrounding the death to determine the full extent of the professional misconduct. While the investigation remains ongoing, the push for additional charges by the medical governing body highlights the gravity of the potential violations committed by the detained staff members.
