Adonis Georgiadis and George Liagas clash over medical inspections

Greek Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis and television presenter George Liagas engaged in a heated debate on ANT1 regarding the investigation into the death of singer George Mazonakis. The confrontation centered on the effectiveness of previous inspections conducted at a medical clinic on Karneadou Street.

Georgiadis argued that the Medical Association of Athens (ISA) had performed eight separate inspections at the site, suggesting that the frequency of these visits indicates the association had suspicions. He claimed that a specific piece of equipment, which was discovered after the death, had been hidden during previous inspections and was only revealed once police arrived.

Liagas questioned the adequacy of these inspections, suggesting they may have been insufficient or negligent. The debate highlights broader concerns regarding whether regulatory mechanisms functioned effectively. The Prosecutor's Office has requested an urgent preliminary investigation to determine if there is criminal liability involving the ISA or other public bodies and to assess if inspection mechanisms operated in a timely and efficient manner.
