Maguire was involved in a brawl alongside family members while on holiday on the Greek island and spent two nights in a police cell following his arrest, but has always denied wrongdoing.

In 2020, he was initially found guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and repeated attempts of bribery and handed a suspended sentence of 21 months - but a retrial was granted on appeal.

While Maguire’s suspended sentence has been reduced in length and severity, the defender is determined to clear his name and will appeal the latest verdict, having refused opportunities to settle.

The 32-year-old was not involved in the latest legal proceedings and is set to be involved in tonight’s match at Newcastle United.

In 2020, Maguire’s legal team immediately appealed against the guilty ruling - which according to Greek law meant the conviction was automatically nullified.

His retrial was postponed four times between 2023 and 2025 before it eventually took place in Syros on Wednesday.

As Maguire is appealing the fresh verdict, his conviction will once again be quashed. He is expected to appeal to Greece’s Supreme Court.
