Harry Maguire, the captain of Manchester United, is scheduled to have his retrial on 7th February 2024, almost three and a half years after his arrest following an incident on the island of Mykonos.
In August 2020, Maguire appeared in court on the island of Syros and was found guilty of assaulting a police officer and attempted bribery. He received a suspended 21-month sentence. However, his legal team filed an appeal, and according to Greek law, he was considered innocent until proven guilty.
Initially, the retrial was expected to take place earlier this month, but Maguire’s legal team requested a postponement. It is anticipated that Maguire, who was on a family vacation during the incident, will not be required to attend the retrial in Greece. Given the proposed date falls in the middle of the 2023-24 season, it is unlikely that he will make an appearance.
