Harry Maguire's Appeal Trial in Greece Postponed to 2025 Amid Lawyers' Strike

The Manchester United defender's bid to overturn a 21-month suspended sentence for a 2020 nightclub brawl is delayed due to ongoing protests against tax reforms.

The appeals trial of Harry Maguire, initially set for February 2024, has been postponed to March 12, 2025, because of a lawyers' strike in Greece protesting tax reforms.
Maguire is appealing a 21-month suspended sentence following a 2020 incident on the Greek island of Mykonos, where he was involved in a nightclub brawl.
The strike has caused a significant backlog in court cases, affecting not only Maguire's trial but also the broader Greek legal system.
Despite the legal challenges, Maguire remains a key player for Manchester United and the England national team, having contributed significantly to their recent successes.
If the case is not heard within eight years, it may be dismissed due to the statute of limitations, adding pressure to resolve the legal matter promptly.
