Player found guilty of ‘non-serious assault’ in 2020

England defender to appeal again against verdict

The England and Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been handed a 15-month suspended prison sentence by a Greek court over a 2020 incident in Mykonos.

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.
