A 58 year old doctor held in pretrial detention over the death of Greek singer Giorgos Mazonakis is seeking a fresh forensic examination of his cellphone as he attempts to distance himself from his wife, who is also a defendant in the case.<\/p>\n
Through his lawyers, the doctor has asked the investigating magistrate to order Greece\u2019s forensic investigation division to carry out a detailed examination of his phone.<\/p>\n
The defence wants investigators to search for deleted messages, photographs, files and other data from the period considered critical to the case.<\/p>\n
They are also asking investigators to check whether the device contains any references to the words \u201csedation\u201d or \u201cMazonakis.\u201d<\/p>\n
The doctor denies communicating with Mazonakis and rejects any suggestion that he knew about a plan to sedate the singer during a medical procedure.<\/p>\n
His legal team is seeking to use the cellphone examination to establish whether there is any digital evidence connecting him to such a plan or to communications concerning Mazonakis.<\/p>\n
The request comes as investigators continue examining the circumstances surrounding the singer\u2019s death and the roles allegedly played by those involved.<\/p>\n
The doctor is expected to seek his release from pretrial detention once toxicology results are submitted to the investigating magistrate.<\/p>\n
The results could become a significant element in determining the next steps in the investigation.<\/p>\n
The case remains under investigation, with the defendants presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty by a court.<\/p>\n
