Harry Maguire convicted in Greek court over 2020 Mykonos incident

On March 4, 2026, a court in Syros, Greece, handed a 15-month suspended sentence to Manchester United defender Harry Maguire. The conviction follows an incident in Mykonos in August 2020, where Maguire was found guilty of non-serious assault, resisting arrest, and attempted bribery. This verdict stems from a retrial after his initial 21-month and 10-day suspended sentence from 2020 was nullified by an appeal under Greek law. The retrial had been postponed four times between 2023 and 2025 due to lawyer strikes and scheduling conflicts. While Maguire denies the charges and maintains his innocence, the court reduced the original sentence to 15 months, citing the lesser severity of the charges. Maguire's legal team has expressed plans to appeal the new verdict to the Supreme Court. Reports from various sources indicate conflicting details regarding the finality of the legal proceedings.
