Harry Maguire set for retrial after being granted appeal against assault conviction

World

Harry Maguire is set to have a full retrial after being granted an appeal against his conviction for assault and attempted bribery in Greece.

A spokesman for his club, Manchester United, said: “An appeal against yesterday’s verdict was lodged this morning by Harry’s legal team.

“In accordance with the Greek judicial process, the filing of an appeal extinguishes the initial court verdict and nullifies the conviction.

“The appeal has been accepted and will lead to a full retrial in a more senior court.

“This means that Harry has no criminal record and is once again presumed innocent until proven guilty. Accordingly, he is not subject to any international travel restrictions.”

It is understood no date has yet been fixed, and while the club would like the matter dealt with as soon as possible, they recognise it could be a number of months before the appeal is heard.
