Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been handed a reduced 15-month suspended sentence by a Greek court.
The sentence follows an incident on the island of Mykonos in August 2020, according to BBC Sport. Maguire was initially found guilty of repeated bodily harm, attempted bribery, violence against public employees, and insult.
The court in Syros concluded that Maguire was guilty of non-serious assault, resisting arrest, and attempted bribery, resulting in the reduced sentence.
Background of the Case
Maguire's legal team lodged an appeal against the initial verdict in 2020, which, under Greek law, nullified his conviction and led to a full retrial. The retrial was postponed on four occasions between 2023 and 2025.
Sources have told BBC Sport that Maguire denies wrongdoing and plans to appeal to the Supreme Court. Maguire has rejected opportunities to settle the case out of court, aiming to clear his name legally.
Current Status
Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, the 32-year-old is in the Manchester United squad for Wednesday's Premier League game at Newcastle United.
Greek Justice System
The retrial highlighted differences between the Greek and British criminal justice systems. In Greece, when a defendant appeals against a conviction, the verdict is automatically annulled, and the case is retried from the beginning.
