Harry Maguire receives suspended sentence for 2020 Mykonos incident

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been sentenced by a court in Syros to a 15-month suspended prison term regarding an incident that occurred in Mykonos in August 2020. The footballer was found guilty of three charges: non-serious assault, resisting arrest, and attempted bribery. Initially, in 2020, he received a longer suspended sentence of 21 months and 10 days, but his legal team successfully appealed the decision, which triggered a retrial under Greek law. Following several delays due to procedural issues and lawyer strikes, the retrial concluded on March 4, 2026. Maguire has categorically denied the allegations, stating the conflict arose while attempting to assist his sister who felt unwell. Despite the court's verdict, the defender has refused to settle out of court, having reportedly rejected offers to pay approximately 60,000 euros. His legal representatives have announced plans to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Greece to clear his name. His brother, Joe, and a friend, Christopher Sharman, were also convicted in connection to the original event.
