Investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis
The death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis continues to be investigated as authorities focus on two doctors, Ilias Theodoropoulos and Ioanna Gaka, who are currently detained. On October 9, 2026, the couple's 19-year-old daughter provided testimony to an investigator, confirming she had undergone plasmapheresis treatment performed by her mother. The daughter, who was present at the medical office on Karneadou Street during the incident, stated that she called emergency services but did not see the singer at the time.
Legal and financial scrutiny has intensified, as the Anti-Money Laundering Authority, led by Charalampos Vourliotis, has frozen all assets belonging to the doctors. This includes a bank safe deposit box in Kolonaki and potentially offshore accounts containing millions of euros. Investigators are examining charges including fraud, unauthorized practice of medicine, tax evasion, and money laundering.
Medical findings have detected the presence of propofol and midazolam in the artist's blood. Experts, including lawyer Babis Lykoudis and medical examiner Dimitris Galenteris, have clarified that these substances are for clinical use, not domestic, dismissing suggestions that they were related to the singer's personal medication. Final toxicological results from a specialized laboratory in Germany are expected to clarify the precise cause of death in the coming days.
