Doctors detained in Greece following death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis

Giorgos Mazonakis Korydallos prison medical malpractice Kolonaki clinic manslaughter charges

Two doctors, Ioanna Gaka and Ilias Theodoropoulos, are in custody facing intentional manslaughter charges following the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis at their Kolonaki clinic. The 58-year-old male doctor is being held in the VIP wing of Korydallos prison, while the 56-year-old female doctor is held in the female wing, where she has reportedly faced hostility from other inmates.

Investigations are expanding into the clinic's operations. Evidence suggests the 58-year-old doctor planned to import advanced cell therapy and regenerative medicine equipment, having recently modified his company's articles of association to include these technologies. Authorities are also scrutinizing a second location on Patriarchou Ioakeim Street, which allegedly served as a hub for hypnotherapy seminars and unregulated medical practices.

A hypnotherapist associated with the doctors is also under investigation. Furthermore, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority is examining the doctors' financial activities for potential illegal earnings. Testimony from the clinic's secretary indicates that Mazonakis arrived between 14:00 and 14:30 on the day of his death, and that the clinic maintained a practice of deleting appointment lists daily, though patient data remained stored on the examination machinery.
