New allegations in the Mazonakis case: “Ioanna Gaka told my wife she had cancer, even though she didn’t.”

The two doctors are scheduled to appear before the investigating judge tomorrow
ALPHANEWSLIVE


New testimonies and allegations regarding the operations of the clinic in Kolonaki—where Giorgos Mazonakis suffered a cardiac arrest and lost his life during a plasmapheresis treatment—are coming to light, just a few hours before the two doctors are scheduled to appear before the investigating judge tomorrow.

One of the new allegations concerns Ioanna Gaka personally and was reported by Alpha TV. A man claimed that the doctor had misdiagnosed his wife, telling her, according to him, that she had cancer—which, he claims, was not true.

“She told my wife she had cancer, when she didn’t,” the complainant stated.

At the same time, a patient from Russia, who had visited the clinic in the past, reported that she had undergone “stem cell” therapy, as had other members of her family.

“I had undergone ‘stem cell’ therapy, and many members of my family had undergone the same treatment,” she said.

Today at 7:30 p.m., the “public vigil”; the critical 84 minutes before the call to EKAΒ are under scrutiny

Meanwhile, today at 7:30 p.m., the “public vigil” for Giorgos Mazonakis at the Holy Church of the Holy Trinity in Nikaia, so that friends and loved ones may have the opportunity to say their goodbyes in person.

The vigil will last until the early hours of Monday morning and will serve as a tribute of love and respect in his memory.

The Holy Trinity Church in Nikaia was the church and parish that Giorgos Mazonakis loved dearly, and it is there that his family has chosen to allow the public to say their final goodbyes.

His funeral will take place on Monday, September 14, at the Third Cemetery of Athens at 1:00 p.m., attended only by close family members.

At the same time, the family earnestly requests that, instead of sending wreaths, those who wish to do so make a donation to Humanity Greece.

The family’s announcement

“With broken hearts and unspeakable grief, we inform you that on Sunday, September 13, the body of our one and only George will lie in state at the Holy Church of the Holy Trinity in Nikaia, his beloved church and parish, so that all friends who wish to do so may bid him a final farewell in person.

The “public wake,” as a tribute of respect and love, will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will continue until the early hours of Monday morning.

The funeral will be held with only close family present at the Third Cemetery of Athens on Monday, September 14.

We kindly ask that, in lieu of wreaths, those who wish to do so support Humanity Greece.

The Mazonakis Family”

The 84 minutes from the interruption of dialysis to the call to EKA

One hour and 24 minutes: this is the time span now at the center of the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Giorgos Mazonakis on September 9.

These are the 84 minutes that elapsed from 2:57 p.m., when the hemodialysis machine stopped working, until 4:21 p.m., when the call to EKAΒ was finally made.

This period of about an hour and a half encompasses one of the most critical aspects of the case, which has yet to be fully clarified: exactly what was happening inside the Stem Cell clinic at 11 Karneadou Street in Kolonaki, what the singer’s condition was, when it became clear that his life was in immediate danger, and what actions were taken before outside help was requested.

The digital evidence, the statements, and the data recovered from the computer and cell phones now allow the authorities to reconstruct, almost minute by minute, the fateful sequence of events.

George Mazonakis arrived at the clinic at 1:55 p.m. on September 9, according to the testimony of the taxi driver who took him to Kolonaki. A few minutes later, at 2:14:10 p.m., the “INUS PHERESIS” machine was activated.

A particularly significant
piece of evidence

The digital data retrieved from its software indicates that the plasma removal procedure had indeed begun and continued for approximately 42 minutes. However, even before the machine stopped operating, a detail of particular significance was recorded.

At 14:45:22, while the machine was still running, Ioanna Gaka, as revealed by protothema.gr, took a photo of Giorgos Mazonakis lying on the bed, unconscious. The significance of this particular image is not limited to what it depicts. It lies primarily in the exact time at which it was taken.

It was 2:45:22 p.m. About 12 minutes later, at 2:57 p.m., the machine stopped working.

From that moment on, the critical 84-minute period begins—the time span that the authorities are now called upon to shed light on with the greatest possible precision.

According to the information available so far, the photo was sent by Ioanna Gaka to her husband, Ilias Theodoropoulos, who was in a store in Kolonaki at the time. He left the store and rushed back to the clinic.

The doctor has stated that he attempted to resuscitate the singer using CPR and administering adrenaline.

The next indisputable time stamp on record, however, is the call to the emergency medical service (EKAB). The time was 4:21 p.m. From 2:57 p.m. to 4:21 p.m., one hour and 24 minutes had passed.

And it is precisely this time frame that is now at the heart of the investigation.

The relevant authorities are attempting to determine exactly when it was estimated that Giorgos Mazonakis had suffered cardiac arrest, how long the resuscitation efforts lasted, what transpired before help was requested, and at what point the decision was finally made to call an ambulance.

As soon as the call was made, the National Ambulance Service (EKAV) responded immediately. The first paramedic arrived at the scene at 4:24 p.m., just three minutes later. The ambulance arrived shortly thereafter, and at 4:45 p.m., Giorgos Mazonakis was transported to Elpis Hospital. At 5:40 p.m., he was pronounced dead.

The case, however, does not end with the timeline of his treatment and the call to the National Emergency Medical Service (EKAV). The findings from the doctor’s cell phone have also taken on significant importance. According to the digital data, at 7:09 p.m., the photo that had been taken earlier inside the doctor’s office was deleted from her device.

The deletion reportedly took place before she and her husband went to the police station. The couple arrived at the Kypseli Police Station at approximately 7:45 p.m. However, the photo was not lost.

The police were able to recover it, and it is now part of the evidence being examined as part of the investigation.

At the same time, the camera’s own digital log is of particular importance, as it records its operation from 2:14 p.m. to 2:57 p.m. This evidence confirms that the deflation process had begun on that fateful day and provides investigators with a clear timeline of how events unfolded.

Another aspect has been added to the case.

The spokesperson for the Athens Medical Association, who had participated in previous inspections of the facility, has reported that this specific hemodialysis machine had not been presented to the Association’s committees.

Thus, the investigation is no longer limited to whether the procedure took place and how long it lasted. Attention is increasingly focused on the exact sequence of events that followed.

From 2:45:22 p.m., when Giorgos Mazonakis appears in the photograph unconscious, to 2:57 p.m., when the machine stopped functioning, and from there to 4:21 p.m., when the call was made to the emergency medical services. This is where the answers lie, which the authorities are now trying to uncover.
