"According to The Guardian, the three-member panel of judges upheld Maguire's conviction for non-serious assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. However, the court reduced his original 21-month sentence to 15 months and 20 days, with the punishment remaining suspended. A mandatory fine of 1,500 was also imposed."
"Maguire has consistently claimed that the confrontation began after he feared his sister had been injected with a rape drug by a group of men. The 32-year-old previously told the BBC he was scared for his life during the arrest, alleging that plainclothes officers did not identify themselves and treated him aggressively."
"Maguire's legal team have already confirmed their intention to appeal to Greece's Supreme Court, with the 32-year-old continuing to maintain his innocence. Under Greek law, the initial conviction had been nullified once the appeal process began, but this latest verdict reinstates his guilty status unless overturned."
Harry Maguire faced a retrial in Greece nearly six years after a 2020 incident in Mykonos. An appeals court on Syros found him guilty of non-serious assault, resisting arrest, and attempted bribery. His original 21-month sentence was reduced to 15 months and 20 days, remaining suspended, with an additional fine of 1,500 imposed. The prosecution confirmed justice was served regarding the Greek police officers involved. Maguire maintains his innocence and plans to appeal to Greece's Supreme Court. The incident originated from a summer holiday altercation outside a bar, which Maguire claimed began after fearing his sister had been drugged.
