Attempted bribery
According to prosecutors, the situation began after police were called to a dispute outside a bar. Officers claimed the situation escalated when they attempted to intervene, leading to a confrontation that resulted in Maguire and others being arrested.
The court ultimately handed the defender a 15-month suspended sentence, meaning he would not serve time in prison unless another offence was committed during the suspension period.
Maguire has consistently denied the allegations, maintaining that he and his group were victims of an incident that spiralled out of control. His legal team previously confirmed that the ruling would be appealed, which under Greek law means the conviction is not considered final until the appeal process is completed.
The case quickly became one of the most talked-about controversies involving a Premier League player, drawing widespread attention from football fans and media outlets around the world.
Despite the legal battle, Maguire has continued his professional career, remaining a key figure in English football while the case remains part of one of the most high-profile off-field incidents involving a top-flight player.
