A Greek court handed Harry Maguire a 15-month suspended sentence for an incident in Mykonos in August 2020.
The Manchester United centre-back faced accusations of non-serious assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery, and was convicted of all three charges.
Maguire’s 15-month suspended sentence has been reduced in length and severity from the original 21 months, but is nonetheless a second conviction for the charges against him.
Maguire was arrested after a fight involving his family outside a bar in August 2020.
He was convicted of attacking and attempting to bribe police officers in 2020, but on appeal a new trial was granted and his conviction was “annulled” under Greek law.
His retrial was postponed four times; the last failed attempt took place in October 2025 due to “court documents not being translated into English.”
There had been a fine along with his original sentence, but it has now been removed. Maguire has also turned down multiple opportunities to settle the case with a financial offer because he is determined to legally clear his name.
Maguire’s lawyers will appeal to the Greek Supreme Court in a bid to clear his name.
Maguire has always vehemently denied any wrongdoing and his representatives have privately expressed reservations about the development of the case against him.
Sky Sports News confirmed that only one of the three police witnesses appeared in court on Wednesday, but lawyers in Greece said the other two officers were not required to attend because they had already provided written statements.
The Greek prosecutor in the case of Maguire’s conviction has strongly denied any corruption in the process.
Maguire was not involved in the latest legal proceedings and has been preparing for Wednesday night’s Premier League match against Newcastle as usual.
