15-month suspended sentence — Mykonos verdict
Man Utd
Harry Maguire has been handed a 15-month suspended sentence by a Greek court over an incident in Mykonos in August 2020.
The Manchester United and England centre-back was convicted on all three counts: non-serious assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. The sentence was reduced from the original 21 months; the fine has been removed.
Maguire faced allegations of non-serious assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. He was found guilty and convicted on all three counts.
He was arrested after a fight involving his family outside a bar in Mykonos. In 2020 he was convicted of attacking and attempting to bribe police officers; a retrial was later granted and his conviction was nullified under Greek law before this latest verdict.
The retrial was postponed four times — last in October 2025 because court documents were not translated into English.
Maguire has refused multiple opportunities to settle with a financial offer because he is determined to clear his name legally. He has always denied any wrongdoing.
Maguire's lawyers will appeal to the Greek Supreme Court to clear his name. Only one of three police witnesses attended court; the other two had already given written statements.
Maguire was not present for the latest hearing and was preparing for Manchester United's Premier League match against Newcastle as normal.
