Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has suffered a major blow in his attempt to clear his name, with his Greek court case facing yet another setback.

Maguire determined to prove his innocence

Maguire was arrested in the summer of 2020 on the Greek island of Mykonos, following an altercation on a family holiday.

Maguire was found guilty of assaulting a police officer and attempted bribery, resulting in a suspended 21-month prison sentence. The conviction was automatically overturned upon appeal, as stipulated by Greek law.

What has followed since has been a lengthy process for the England international to prove his innocence and finally set the record straight.

Maguire’s trial was initially postponed in May 2023 due to the unavailability of his legal counsel. It was later delayed again in February 2024, this time as a result of a nationwide lawyers’ strike. It was pushed back for a third time in March this year.

The 32-year-old has consistently maintained that he did nothing wrong and has been yearning to prove so in court.

There was optimism that he would get a chance to do just that today (Wednesday), but the retrial has been postponed again.
