Man United's Harry Maguire Sentenced for Assault
League Level Incident
Five Counts of Assault
Manchester United footballer Harry Maguire has been sentenced to 21 months in prison, suspended for two years, after being found guilty of five counts of assault. The incident occurred during a night out in Greece last August, where Maguire was involved in a brawl with police officers.
Maguire denied the charges, claiming self-defense, but the court rejected his argument. He was found guilty of assaulting three police officers, resisting arrest, and attempting to bribe one of the officers.
The sentence means that Maguire will not serve any time in prison unless he commits another offense within the next two years. However, he will be subject to a curfew and will have to report to the police regularly.
Manchester United has said that it will not comment on the verdict until it has had time to review the full details of the case.
