Harry Maguire given 15-month suspended prison sentence after retrial in Greece
Harry Maguire was convicted of non-serious assault, resisting arrest, and attempted bribery, receiving a 15-month suspended sentence reduced from 21 months, with an appeal planned.
- Harry Maguire, the Manchester United and England centre-back, was handed a 15-month suspended prison sentence by a Greek court after a retrial in Syros on Wednesday.
- Under Greek procedure, an appeal caused Maguire's 2020 conviction following an altercation on Mykonos to be automatically annulled, prompting a full retrial.
- Maguire was not required to appear in person, and judges reduced the original 21-month suspended sentence to the reduced sentence of 15 months and 20 days.
- He faces a €1,500 fine, and Maguire will appeal the 15-month suspended sentence, leading to the conviction being quashed while the appeal proceeds, according to Greece's Supreme Court.
- Procedural disruptions including lawyer strikes delayed the retrial, reflecting a heavy backlog in Greek courts, while Joe Maguire, brother, and Christopher Sharman, co-defendant, were also convicted in 2020 but deny wrongdoing.
