Why was Maguire arrested?
Maguire was arrested and found guilty of charges of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and repeated attempts of bribery back in 2020 in Syros, Greece while on holiday with family and friends. The charges came after an altercation with police officers which led to allegations of attempted bribery after the Manchester United star was taken to the police station. Maguire was then found guilty and handed a 21-month suspended prison sentence. However, he appealed the verdict, which, under Greek law, was immediately quashed. The first retrial was postponed in May 2023 as his counsel was unavailable due to a scheduling conflict. A second attempt was then delayed by a lawyers' strike in February 2024. Two more retrials have also been postponed, with the latest date set for March 4.
