Inquiry into the death of Giorgos Mazonakis reached a new level: two doctors of a private office in Kolonaki, after many hours of interrogation, were taken into custodyand the investigation continues to study the recovered digital data, the operation of the plasmapheresis machine and the time interval before the call to EC.
The investigator and the prosecutor decided to temporarily imprison two doctors after a procedure that lasted about 18 o’clock. They were charged with premeditated murder with indirect intent, committed through inaction. The accused deny guilt. The mere fact of pre-trial detention does not mean that they are found guilty – the final assessment of the evidence will be made by the court. This is reported CNN Greece And News247.
— two doctors were temporarily taken into custody;
— the investigation restored data deleted from the doctor’s phone two photos and one video;
— data from the plasmapheresis device and its alarm activation are studied separately;
— questions remain regarding the time interval between the deterioration of the singer’s condition and the call of ΕΚΑΒ;
— the prosecutor’s office began a separate investigation into the possible liability of regulatory authorities.
Deleted photos and videos were recovered
One of the most important areas of investigation was digital traces. According to LiFOspecialists recovered from the doctor’s phone two photos and one videodeleted on the evening of the singer’s death.
The investigation is trying to establish what exactly was recorded on these files, at what time they were made and why they were subsequently deleted. Previously it was reported about a photograph of Mazonakis, taken around 14:45when he was in the office during the procedure. This data is compared with the testimony of those present and electronic records.
The device gave alarm signals
The digital log of the plasmapheresis device is studied separately. According to the investigation, the equipment recorded several warnings during the procedure. Investigative authorities are trying to establish how the doctors reacted to them, when exactly the procedure was stopped and in what condition the patient was at that time.
It was the data from the device that became one of the factors after which the charges were tightened. At the same time, the doctors’ defense claims that they took the necessary actions and did everything possible to save the patient.
The key question is when they called ΕΚΑΒ
Much attention is paid to the chronology of events. The case file contains various information about the time Mazonakis arrived at the office and when his condition sharply worsened.
According to ERTnewsthe investigation is studying a significant time gap before the ambulance was called and discrepancies in the testimony of the people who were in the office.
The president of KOK also publicly rejected attempts to blame the ambulance service, saying that the rescuers acted in accordance with protocol and arrived to the patient in a state of circulatory arrest, without a pulse.
Doctors deny the accusations
During questioning, doctors denied that they had deliberately put Mazonakis in danger. The female doctor stated that she did everything possible to save him, and her husband claims that he was not directly involved in the plasmapheresis procedure and learned about the critical situation later.
The defense also claims that the equipment was used legally and was declared to the Athens Medical Association. These allegations are now being verified by the investigation and do not resolve the questions raised by the prosecution.
They will also check those who were supposed to control the office.
The investigation already extends beyond the actions of just two doctors. The Athens prosecutor’s office ordered urgent preliminary checkto find out whether there might have been criminal omissions on the part of the Athens Medical Association or other bodies that were supposed to control the activities of the office and the equipment used.
The investigation is ongoing. In addition to digital materials and testimony from the accused, the results of laboratory and toxicological studies are awaited, which may be key to a final understanding of the causes of death and the actions of doctors in the last hours of Giorgos Mazonakis’s life.
