Messages between the two women

Greek media have published text messages between the 56-year-old doctor charged in the case and a 69-year-old anesthesiologist who works at a private Attica clinic and keeps a practice in Alimos. According to reports, the two women worked together for about two years after a referral from colleagues, mainly on blood-draw procedures for which the anesthesiologist was paid 150 to 200 euros per visit. The anesthesiologist denies that the doctors ever asked her about anesthetic substances, but the exchanges reportedly name specific drugs. In an August exchange she is said to have identified Entonox as the gas in use, a product dentists also use, and later named Dexdor and its active substance dexmedetomidine. Phone records obtained after the lifting of telephone secrecy reportedly contradict her account.

The midazolam request

On 2 September 2026 the doctor wrote asking the anesthesiologist to arrange midazolam for a man she would send, because she had none left. The anesthesiologist agreed to hand it over and, asked about timing, answered around 10 to 11. The doctor then said she would pass the anesthesiologist's phone number on to a third person. Star reports that the request came seven days before Mazonakis died at the Karneadou office. The same reports say the doctor did not mention these messages, or the three August contacts, in her statement to the investigating magistrate.

Vials found at the clinic

Police officers from the Athens Security sub-directorate found two vials at the Karneadou office that reportedly contained anexate, the antidote to midazolam, sold in a generic version called detoxate. Live News published a photograph of the vials. The label bears a Greek drug authority licence number and the words Solution for injection, which indicate a hospital or clinic product given intravenously rather than one a private person could simply buy. Investigators hope the batch numbers will show which hospital, clinic or pharmacy received the stock and how it reached the 56-year-old doctor. Reports say the vials point to the anesthesiologist having brought them to the office, a claim she rejects.

The husband's memorandum

The 58-year-old internal medicine specialist who shares the Karneadou premises with his wife has filed a new memorandum with the investigating magistrate. He says he never knew Mazonakis, never contacted him and had no role in his examination or treatment. To back this, he cites a cardiology test and an ECG dated 4 September 2026 for another patient, plus a handwritten referral for further tests, and asks that this patient be heard as a defence witness. He says he left the office for lunch at the restaurant Le Rose just before the singer arrived. Media reports say his daughter disputes his account.

Defence response

The 56-year-old doctor's lawyer, Petros Pantazis, issued a statement on Monday, 19 October, saying that material circulating in online outlets and broadcasts, attributed to unnamed sources close to her, does not reflect her defence. He said her position will be put forward only before the competent judicial authorities. He also cited two Athens court rulings, numbered 2453/2023 and 5024/2025, which he said found that publishing criminal case material during the secret pre-trial phase is unlawful, and that broadcasting personal data from case files is also illegal.

“What is being reproduced and published does not correspond to statements or positions of her defence.”

He stressed the presumption of innocence and the secrecy of the investigation.
