Today, Tuesday, the two doctors will once again appear in the prosecutor’s office; following the upgrade of the charges, they are being called upon to answer for manslaughter with possible intent in connection with the death of Giorgos Mazonas.
Following the filing of the new charges against them, the pair were given a deadline to review the details of the indictment against them. Thus, the two doctors will provide written and oral explanations today regarding the events that took place at their private clinic last Wednesday when the popular artist collapsed during a medical procedure.

The charge was upgraded following consultation between the 32nd Regular Investigating Judge handling the case and the competent prosecutor, after an evaluation of new evidence forwarded to theby the police authorities.
Yesterday, according to reports, the judicial officer took witness statements. It appears that the clinic’s secretary and a client of the defendants were questioned before the investigating judge.
The plasma removal machine kept sounding alarms, and Gaka kept pressing the reset button
Police investigating the circumstances of Giorgos Mazonakis’s death now have access to a detailed digital log of the plasmapheresis machine’s operation, with the data shedding light on the critical steps from the start of preparation through the system’s successive warnings.
According to the Hellenic Police investigation and information from protothema.gr, the machine was activated at 2:14 p.m., although the blood transfusion with the patient had not yet begun at that time. It should be noted that, according to the evidence available to the Hellenic Police, such as the statement from the taxi driver who transported the singer, Giorgos Mazonakis is reported to have entered the clinic between 1:50 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Nine minutes after the machine was activated, the system’s first alarm was recorded. According to the investigators’ analysis of the data, this specific indication may be related either to a problem with the tubing—such as a kink in a tube—or to a change in the patient’s blood pressure.
The actual start of the procedure—that is, the blood exchange—is recorded at 2:37 p.m. From that point on, the most critical part of the timeline begins.
This specific time is of particular importance, as it now serves as objective digital evidence of when the treatment began and is added to the rest of the data from the cameras, photographs, statements, and electronic records.
At 3:22 p.m., the first critical pause is recorded. The machine stops performing the blood exchange.
This is the specific point in time on which the investigation is particularly focused, as from that point onward, the system begins to log a series of warnings. Authorities are investigating exactly what happened to the patient at that specific moment and what actions were taken inside the clinic.
By 3:45 p.m., according to the data that has been retrieved, the machine recorded three more alarms. According to the police investigation, these alarms are linked to the absence of a heartbeat.
This finding is of exceptional importance to the investigation, as police are attempting to determine exactly when the singer’s condition took a serious turn for the worse and how the doctors present at the scene responded.
The most critical new detail concerns what appears to have happened at 3:45 p.m. According to information from protothema.gr, after repeated alarms, the machine was instructed once again to start operating. However, the system immediately shut down on its own.
This specific digital trail is being examined with particular care, as the authorities want to determine exactly what the machine was detecting at that moment and why it effectively prevented the process from continuing.
The question now is what condition Giorgos Mazonakis was in when the attempt to restart his heart was made, and what information the doctors already had at their disposal.
The timeline that must “align” with the call to EKAΒ
These new details add to the already known fact that the call to EKAΒ was made at 4:11 p.m.
Thus, 49 minutes elapsed from the first interruption of treatment at 3:22 p.m. until the call for emergency assistance, and in the meantime, the machine repeatedly recorded alarms and one failed restart attempt at 3:45 p.m.
The complete timeline is as follows:
2:14 p.m.: The machine is activated. At this stage, Giorgos Mazonakis has not yet been connected for blood exchange.
2:23 p.m.: The first alarm is recorded. According to the assessment conducted as part of the investigation, such an indication may point to either a problem with the tubing or an issue with the patient’s blood pressure.
2:37 p.m.: The actual blood exchange process begins, and the treatment enters its main phase.
15:22: The first pause in treatment is recorded. From this point on, the machine stops delivering blood.
From 15:22 to 15:45: The system records a total of three new alarms, which, according to the investigation’s findings, are linked to the absence of a heartbeat.
3:45 p.m.: An attempt is made to restart the machine.
Immediately after 15:45: The machine shuts down on its own almost immediately after being restarted.
4:11 p.m.: The ambulance service (EKAV) is called, 49 minutes after the first interruption of treatment at 3:22 p.m.
