New evidence is emerging in the case of Giorgos Mazonakis, with a 61-year-old anesthesiologist now at the center of the investigation. According to information from ERT, the doctor in question appears to have been alerted by a nurse at the Karneadou Street clinic at the moment the well-known singer lost consciousness. Authorities are investigating both the anesthesiologist’s relationship with the 56-year-old doctor facing charges, and the flow of pharmaceutical substances detected both at the clinic and in the singer’s body. Particular weight is being placed on messages the two women allegedly exchanged regarding the procurement of midazolam — a pharmaceutical substance used in medical procedures — which, according to the same sources, was found in Giorgos Mazonakis’s bloodstream. Investigators believe the content of this communication may reveal a close collaboration between the two individuals, potentially pointing to a systematic drug supply arrangement rather than a one-off or coincidental event. Should these assumptions be confirmed as the investigation progresses, new charges of complicity may arise against individuals who may have been involved.
Mazonakis case: The messages about midazolam and the conversation between the two women
According to ERT, a communication reportedly took place on September 2nd — approximately one week before the singer’s collapse — between the 56-year-old accused doctor and the anesthesiologist. Based on available information from the messages, the doctor asked the anesthesiologist to send her midazolam, as she did not have sufficient quantities.
The conversation is reported to have unfolded as follows:
- Accused doctor: “Good morning, how are you? Can you send me some midazolam with someone? I have none at all.”
- Anesthesiologist: “Yes, of course. What time do you need it?”
- Accused doctor: “Whatever time works for you.”
- Anesthesiologist: “Between 10 and 11.”
- Accused doctor: “OK. I’ll give Giannis your number.”
From the conversation that has been revealed, it appears that the accused doctor requested a specific substance, while the anesthesiologist agreed to provide it and set a time for its delivery. A further aspect under investigation is the reference to a third person named Giannis, as authorities are examining how the handover was to be completed. The critical element for investigators is not simply the request itself, but whether this communication forms part of a recurring and established practice between the two women. Experts believe the manner in which they communicate suggests familiarity and an already established working relationship. Nevertheless, this assessment must be accompanied by a full analysis of all available evidence. If it is proven that a systematic procurement and distribution of pharmaceutical substances took place, new charges of complicity may follow for anyone found to have participated in the process.
The anesthesiologist’s testimony and her collaboration with the accused doctor
The case of the 61-year-old anesthesiologist, who has already testified before the examining magistrate, continues to attract attention as the investigation into the medications found at the Karneadou Street clinic in Kolonaki remains ongoing. According to information that has emerged, the anesthesiologist revealed in her testimony that she had been collaborating with the 56-year-old accused doctor for approximately two years. Their professional relationship had begun following a referral from mutual colleagues, and, as she stated, her fee for each intravenous procedure ranged between €150 and €200, according to ERT.
She maintained that their professional relationship had ended last August, stating that she had not visited the Karneadou Street clinic in four months and had no regular physical presence at the location during that period. These claims are being examined alongside the messages identified by authorities, in order to clarify key details surrounding the nature of the collaboration between the individuals involved, the frequency of their communications, and the manner in which the pharmaceutical substances were obtained. The investigation remains fully active, with focus centered on the timeline of events and the connections between the charges and the new evidence coming to light.
The trail of the vials and the substances identified
According to sources, a vial of midazolam was found at the Karneadou Street clinic, and the same substance is reported to have been detected in Giorgos Mazonakis’s system. Information under review suggests that midazolam, in combination with two other substances, may be linked to the singer’s collapse. The exact circumstances and method of administration of the substances remain under investigation.
On the matter of drug trafficking, criminal lawyer Ilias Sideris emphasized that the illegal distribution of medications without a proper prescription or legal procedure may carry criminal consequences, depending on the evidence and the facts of the case. Dimitris Manikis, an anesthesiologist at Attikon Hospital, raised the issue of the substances’ origin, noting that they were most likely removed from a location where they were legally stored, such as a hospital or clinic. Meanwhile, Giorgos Mathiopoulos, president of the EKAV workers’ union, commented on the singer’s condition and the necessity of his transfer to hospital, based on the findings identified at the scene.
The 58-year-old doctor’s memorandum: distancing himself from his wife
Alongside the investigation into the drug distribution, the 58-year-old doctor facing charges is attempting to distance himself from his 56-year-old wife by submitting a new memorandum to the examining magistrate. According to reports, the doctor argues that his professional practices bear no relation to those of his wife or to alternative medicine. He also stresses that their marital relationship cannot form the basis of a charge or establish any form of family liability. The 58-year-old maintains that he was uninformed and had no involvement in the treatments allegedly designed for Giorgos Mazonakis. In his memorandum, he underlines that he never examined, recommended treatment to, or treated the singer, nor did he participate in the planning or implementation of any treatment organized by his wife. Through these statements, he seeks to clarify that he claims to have had no involvement in the case and no part in any therapeutic process concerning the artist.
Digital files and patient records at the clinic placed under thorough scrutiny
At the same time, the Security Police are examining the digital files and patient records of the Karneadou Street clinic. As part of the investigation, patient files — both of public figures and private individuals — are being reviewed to determine whether similar practices involving pharmaceutical substances were applied in other cases. Authorities are working to map the full scope of the clinic’s activities, identify any recurring procedures, and establish the source of the substances found on the premises.
