Mazonakis investigation: Toxicology and pharmaceutical probe

Overview

The judicial investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis at a Kolonaki clinic has uncovered significant toxicological and digital evidence. Forensic analysis identified eight substances in the singer’s system, including propofol, midazolam, cocaine, and benzoylecgonine. Experts suggest the combination of propofol and midazolam likely caused fatal respiratory depression. Digital evidence shows Dr. Ioanna Gaka used ChatGPT to inquire about propofol side effects, such as “hypotension and respiratory depression,” after the patient was already being transported by ambulance.

Two doctors, Ilias Theodoropoulos and Ioanna Gaka, have been arrested and face felony charges of manslaughter. New testimonies from clinic staff, including a nurse who observed Mazonakis's hand twitching, have surfaced. A clinic secretary also reported hearing mentions of sedatives, adrenaline, and a defibrillator during the crisis. However, reports suggest the clinic's defibrillator was non-functional because its battery had remained in its packaging for four years.

Investigations revealed discrepancies regarding the procedure; while doctors claimed a plasma exchange had not begun, technical checks showed an apheresis machine had been operating for 42 to 45 minutes. Furthermore, the clinic was not authorized to perform plasma exchange. SYRIZA MP Pavlos Polakis has accused the President of the Medical Association of Athens, Georgios Patoulis, of failing to regulate the clinic and has called for an investigation into the clinic's financial transactions. Dr. Gaka maintains she was performing “Inus therapy” rather than plasmapheresis, while Dr. Theodoropoulos has submitted a memorandum attempting to distance himself from his wife’s professional activities.

Claims

What the coverage asserts, and how many sources carry each claim.

Coverage disagrees

Sources make claims that cannot both be true. CLSTR reports the disagreement; it does not decide who is right.

  • "Two apheresis machines were found in the clinic, which were not present during a 2025 inspection."

    vs

    "Unannounced inspections by the Athens Medical Association found no plasmapheresis machine at the clinic."

    One claim states two apheresis machines were found at the clinic, while the other states no plasmapheresis machine was found.

  • "The 56-year-old doctor claims the defibrillator indicated asystole, a rhythm that could not be treated with defibrillation."

    vs

    "The 58-year-old doctor submitted a memorandum denying any involvement in the treatment of Giorgos Mazonakis." cretaone.gr · patrapress.gr · thefaq.gr · www.tokarfi.gr · www.larissanet.gr · +4 more

    One claim identifies the doctor as 56 years old, while another identifies the doctor as 58 years old.

  • "Security cameras recorded the singer arriving at the clinic around 14:00, contradicting the doctor's claim of 16:00."

    vs

    The claims provide different arrival times for Mazonakis (13:30 vs 14:00) based on security footage.
