The investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis has shifted to the testimony of an imprisoned doctor, who provided a minute-by-minute account of a final plasma exchange procedure. The case has focused on the events surrounding the singer's final moments and the reported erasure of related information.
Ferries in Piraeus, Rafina, and Lavrio are staying in port as winds reach 9 Beaufort, while emergency services on Crete have rescued 23 people from flooded homes and roads. Elsewhere, the state has finally turned its attention to the Kifisos river after twenty years of pollution complaints, though it has coupled the new scrutiny with an admission that there are no immediate plans for restoration.
A minor crisis of commitment has emerged in the university system, where 5% of students who passed their entrance exams simply never showed up to enroll. In Thessaloniki, the prime ministers of Greece and Bulgaria met to sign a deal exchanging ecclesiastical relics and the remains of Tsar Samuel, ending a century-long wait for 48 artifacts.
