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 ~~fatal exposure.~~ 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 ~~registered for general internal medicine and was~~ not authorized to perform plasma exchange. ~~The~~ SYRIZA MP Pavlos Polakis has accused the President of the Medical Association of ~~Athens (ISA) has launched a disciplinary inquiry and is seeking~~ Athens, Georgios Patoulis, of failing to ~~suspend~~ regulate the ~~doctors' licenses.~~ clinic and has called for an investigation into the clinic's financial transactions.

She maintains this therapy is safe, asserting she received training in Germany, and claims Mazonakis’s health was already compromised. She also denies delaying emergency services, stating the collapse occurred only minutes before the call. New evidence includes intercepted communications showing Dr. Gaka requested midazolam from an anesthesiologist because she lacked the substance in stock. Two vials of the midazolam antidote, anexate, were also found at the scene. plasmapheresis, while Dr. Theodoropoulos has submitted a memorandum attempting to distance himself from his wife’s professional ~~activities and non-conventional practices, claiming he was at a restaurant during the treatment and providing another patient's records as an alibi.~~ activities.
