ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been given a 15-month suspended sentence over a nightclub scuffle on the Greek island of Mykonos in August 2020.
Maguire originally was handed a 21-month suspended sentence shortly after the incident, but he appealed the ruling, which triggered a new trial at a court on the island of Syros, the region’s administrative capital.
The appeals trial had been delayed several times, including once because of a lawyers’ strike. Maguire, who turns 33 on Thursday, was then convicted on related charges.
The center-back has denied wrongdoing. In 2020, he said: “If anything, myself, family, and friends are the victims.”
Maguire can appeal the ruling.
