Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire will stand before a Greek prosecutor today to face charges of allegedly assaulting police on the island of Mykonos, with his lawyer promising a swift resolution.

Constantinos Darivas, in a message on the Greek sports website gazzetta.gr.

said “Everything is going well. Maguire denies the charges. If all goes well, we’ll be done (today).”  He added that the England center-back was in “fine condition” despite spending two nights in detention since his Thursday night arrest.

The £80-million (88-million-euro) defender, Maguire is to be taken before a prosecutor before midday.

The case is being heard on the island of Syros, the administrative hub of the Cycladic island group that includes Mykonos.  Maguire was arrested early Friday following an “altercation” between two groups of British tourists on Mykonos, according to Greek police, who also in a statement on Friday said that three men aged 27, 28, and 29 had been arrested in Mykonos.

Greek state agency (ANA) has identified the suspects as Maguire, his brother, and a friend.

According to police report, an officer was punched on the scene and a second fight broke out at the local police station where the three men “strenuously resisted (arrest), pushing and striking three officers.” One of the suspects was said to have attempted a bribe on the officers to hush up the incident.

The suspects are accused of assault, resisting arrest, verbally insulting and threatening the arresting officers, and attempted bribery as four Mykonos officers sustained slight injuries in the fracas.

Note that Mykonos is popular with sports stars and celebrities for its all-night nightlife and beaches.

United had yesterday said in a brief statement that they were aware of an alleged incident involving Harry Maguire in Mykonos last night. They also disclosed that Harry, who had been contacted, was fully co-operating with the Greek authorities.
