Harry Maguire has been given a 15-month suspended sentence by Greece’s Supreme Court over a 2020 nightclub incident involving police on the island of Mykonos.
The sentence, suspended for three years, relates to convictions for minor bodily harm, insulting police, attempted bribery and unlawful violence.
Maguire intends to appeal, which will quash the ruling as happened after his original 21-month suspended sentence in 2020 triggered a retrial in Syros.
Maguire, who did not attend the hearing, has denied wrongdoing, previously stating: “If anything, myself, family, and friends are the victims.”
In 2020 he told BBC Sport he was “scared for his life,” alleging: “We got down on our knees, we put our hands in the air, they just started hitting us.”
Lawyer Ioannis Paradissis, representing the officers, said: “He has never apologised — not even once. Not a single apology. As of today, he has a criminal record,” adding: “It’s unacceptable.”
No travel restrictions have been imposed, leaving Maguire eligible for England selection.
