Harry Maguire’s Greek Retrial Delayed for a Fourth Time, Pushed to March 2026

The latest postponement edges the case closer to Greece’s eight-year statute of limitations in August 2028.

Overview

  • The hearing, due to start in Syros on Wednesday, was moved to March 2026 after Maguire’s defence team arrived ready to proceed.
  • Maguire was not required to attend the session in person.
  • Earlier adjournments occurred in May 2023 due to defence counsel unavailability, in February 2024 during a lawyers’ strike, and again in March 2025.
  • The case arises from a 2020 incident in Mykonos that led to a 21‑month suspended sentence later quashed on appeal under Greek law.
  • Co-defendants Joe Maguire and Christopher Sharman received 13‑month suspended sentences, and all three men deny the charges.
