Harry Maguire found guilty of assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery.


Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been found guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and repeated attempts of bribery.

The Manchester United captain was arrested in Mykonos Greece, while holidaying on the Greek island.

Maguire, 27, flew back to the UK after being released on bail.

A judge restricted the number of people in court to just ten due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to  Sky's Martha Kelner, who was among those present  reported this afternoon that Maguire has been found guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and bribery.

The court had been asked to postpone proceedings, with Maguire's lawyer Mr Alexis Anagnostaki arguing he had only been given the full details of the charges hours earlier - but a judge refused the request.

During the trial, Maguire's lawyer claimed he was kicked in the leg by police officers who told him "your career is over".

The trial also heard how Maguire allegedly told officers: "Do you know who I am? I am the captain of Manchester United, I am very rich, I can give you money, I can pay you, please let us go."

Maguire was detained in police custody for two nights after he was arrested for his involvement in a brawl on the Greek isle of Mykonos in the early hours of Friday morning, the court heard.
