England and Manchester United defender Harry Maguire ⁠has been handed a 15-month suspended prison sentence by a Greek ‌court over a 2020 incident in Mykonos, ‌Sky Sports reported on Wednesday.

In ‌2020, Maguire was found guilty of repeated ‌bodily harm, attempted bribery and violence ‌against public employees after his arrest in a brawl in which two ‌police officers were assaulted.

Maguire, who ⁠was detained ‌for two days following the incident and ​denied any wrongdoing, was handed a suspended prison sentence of ​21 months and 10 days but was granted a full retrial after ⁠appealing against ​Greek court convictions on multiple charges.

In accordance with the Greek judicial process, the filing nullified Maguire's conviction before ‌a full retrial in a more senior court. His retrial was postponed many times.

Maguire faced allegations of non-serious assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery. The 32-year-old was convicted on all three counts but will face no prison time. His legal team ‌will appeal against the guilty ​verdict, Sky Sports reported.

Maguire's brother Joe ‌and friend Christopher Sharman were also found guilty of offences related to the incident and received suspended prison sentences in 2020. They ⁠also denied ⁠any wrongdoing.
