Greek authorities have ordered a comprehensive freeze on the assets of the two doctors held in pretrial detention in connection with Giorgos Mazonakis’ death, widening the investigation to include suspected financial crimes.

Charalambos Vourliotis, head of Greece’s Anti-Money Laundering Authority and an honorary deputy prosecutor at the Supreme Court, has ordered the seizure-related freeze of the couple’s assets as the authority investigates four additional alleged offenses.

According to information made public, the authority has sent a detailed order to the prosecutor’s office, activating the freeze on the accused doctors’ assets.

Investigators are also examining a bank safe-deposit box the couple maintained at a bank in Kolonaki, a central Athens neighborhood near their medical office. The authority has explicitly authorized the box to be opened and any items discovered inside to be seized immediately.

Property and Investments Under Scrutiny

As part of the broader financial investigation, Vourliotis has sent official documents to Greece’s Land Registry to identify and freeze any real estate owned by the accused doctors.

The authority has also contacted insurance companies to determine whether the couple holds investment products, insurance policies or other financial assets in their names.

Any additional assets or findings identified through these procedures will automatically be subject to the freeze, according to the report.

Four Financial Offenses Under Investigation

While the main judicial investigation into the circumstances of Mazonakis’ death continues, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority is examining four additional offenses:

  • Aggravated fraud
  • Impersonation of a medical professional
  • Tax evasion
  • Money laundering, or the legalization of proceeds from illegal activities

Investigators have already begun intensive cross-checks between the doctors’ declared incomes and their actual financial circumstances to establish whether discrepancies exist.

The authority’s findings and final report will be forwarded to the competent prosecutor for further legal action.
