A full-scale tax audit by Greece’s Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) is underway at the Kolonaki medical clinic on Karneadou Street, where renowned Greek singer Giorgos Mazonakis lost his life. Investigators from the elite DEOS audit team are conducting an exhaustive examination of the clinic’s financial records.
Using advanced digital investigative tools, the tax authority’s auditors are scrutinizing bank accounts, financial documents, client records, and invoices, leaving no stone unturned in their effort to establish the clinic’s true economic activity. Under the microscope are the medical supplies and materials used in procedures, with investigators cross-referencing purchase invoices against declared quantities, costs, and the fees charged for services rendered.
This cross-referencing process is designed to determine whether procurement data aligns with the activity reported in the clinic’s accounting and tax records. Simultaneously, auditors are examining the clinic’s client database, with particular attention to patients who traveled from abroad. The key question is whether the medical services provided — and the corresponding fees collected — have been accurately reflected in the required documentation and the business’s tax filings.
At the same time, investigators are conducting a sweeping review of all financial flows. Deposits, wire transfers, card payments, POS transactions, and movements across professional bank accounts are all being examined alongside the clinic’s accounting data. The objective is to determine whether the amounts reflected in banking activity correspond to the revenues and transactions recorded in the clinic’s digital books. In this way, auditors are attempting to trace every transaction from the point of service delivery and invoice issuance all the way through to payment collection and tax registration. Any discrepancies uncovered during this cross-checking process could trigger requests for additional documentation and prompt a deeper investigation.
Investigators are also analyzing the clinic’s transactions with its suppliers. Purchase invoices, transaction values, and the products or services logged in the accounting records will be compared against all other available data to build a complete and accurate picture of the clinic’s true business operations. According to sources, the audit also encompasses the overall tax profiles of the two doctors linked to the clinic’s operation. Declared income, assets, bank account activity, expenditures, and all other relevant tax data are set to be placed under the microscope to determine whether any inconsistencies emerge that warrant further investigation.
A critical role in this process is expected to be played by the digital files and electronic data seized from the premises. Hard drives, accounting software records, and digital footprints will be cross-referenced against tax returns, financial documents, and banking transactions, forming a comprehensive and unified framework for the investigation.
