"On Wednesday, Maguire, although not present, was convicted of assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery for the second time. It came more than five years after he was initially handed a fine and 21-month suspended prison sentence, which was appealed by his legal team."
"Maguire was arrested while on holiday in Aug. 2020, with police called after a fight outside a bar involving his family. The England international, then only a year into his Manchester United career, was detained for two days and put on trial on a neighboring island only four days after the incident."
"He won't serve any jail time due to the nature of the sentence-and an unlikeliness that he will ever return to Greece-but having any criminal conviction attached to him is still not good."
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire was convicted for a second time in Greece on charges stemming from his August 2020 arrest on Mykonos. The retrial resulted in a 15-month suspended prison sentence for assault, resisting arrest, and attempted bribery—a reduced sentence compared to his original 21-month suspension and fine from over five years ago. Maguire was arrested following a fight outside a bar involving his family while on holiday. He has consistently denied all allegations, and his legal team intends to appeal the conviction to Greece's Supreme Court. The prolonged legal process has created ongoing uncertainty, though Maguire will not serve jail time due to the suspended nature of the sentence.
