"In 2020, Maguire was found guilty of repeated bodily harm, attempted bribery and violence against public employees after his arrest after a brawl outside a nightclub. Maguire, who was detained for two days after the incident and denied any wrongdoing, was handed a suspended prison sentence of 21 months and 10 days and fined but was granted a full retrial after appealing against Greek court convictions on multiple charges."
"In accordance with the Greek judicial process, the filing nullified Maguire's conviction before a full retrial in a more senior court. His retrial was postponed many times. Maguire faced allegations of non-serious assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. The 32-year-old was convicted on all three counts but will face no prison time."
"Maguire has rejected a number of opportunities to settle the case because he is determined to clear his name. It is understood Maguire's legal team will appeal to the supreme court against the verdict."
Harry Maguire, England and Manchester United defender, was convicted by a Greek court over a 2020 incident in Mykonos involving a brawl outside a nightclub. Originally sentenced to 21 months and 10 days with a fine, Maguire appealed and received a full retrial in a senior court. After multiple postponements, the retrial resulted in conviction on all three charges: non-serious assault, resisting arrest, and attempted bribery. The 15-month suspended sentence means Maguire faces no prison time and no fine. Maguire has consistently denied wrongdoing and rejected settlement opportunities to clear his name. His legal team plans to appeal to the supreme court.
