Harry Maguire showed no ‘remorse’ after being convicted of assaulting police, claims Greek prosecutor

The Greek prosecutor in the Harry Maguire case yesterday condemned the footballer for not showing “no trace of remorse” after his conviction for assaulting and trying to bribe the police.

Speaking after Maguire presented his case to the BBC on Thursday, lawyer Ioannis Paradissis said the incident on the island of Mykonos ten days ago would have been dismissed as ‘just three drunk tourists’ if only Maguire had apologized.

“But he couldn’t believe what he was seeing as he repeatedly refused to apologize or admit that he had done something wrong in the BBC interview,” Paradissis said.

Lawyer Ioannis Paradissis said the incident on the island of Mykonos ten days ago would have been dismissed as “just three drunk tourists” had Harry Maguire, pictured, apologized.

“There was no trace of remorse in his interview, nor in the Manchester United statement,” he said.

He also highlighted what he claimed were contradictions in the Manchester United captain’s account, adding: ‘Maguire said in the interview that he was not that drunk, but his lawyers used his drunkenness as a line of defense when they claimed that he was not that drunk. ‘. I really know what was going on.

Paradissis said that Maguire’s claim that he believed he was being abducted when he was arrested was “unbelievable.”

Officers intervened when Maguire’s friends were involved in an altercation with two men while they waited for a minibus to return to their villa, believing that his sister Daisy had been attacked by the men with a sharp object.

Local reports have suggested it could have been an attempt to administer a date rape drug.

Plainclothes policemen intervened to try to defuse the situation and then ordered the minibus driver to take the party to the police station.

‘If Maguire and his friends thought they were being kidnapped, why were they yelling’ Fuck the police ‘?’ Mr Paradissis said.

The lawyer also highlighted what he claimed to be contradictions in the Manchester United captain’s account, pictured leaving the pitch.

The assertion of Maguire’s kidnapping fears was fatally undermined in the eyes of the court in Syros by the only independent witness, the minibus driver, 23-year-old Christos Atrides.

He said in his statement that the agents were clearly identified, as one had shown his police identity card. That officer was later pushed, he wrote.

The self-confessed Anglophile Paradissis, 41, who earned a Ph.D. from the City University of London and once taught law at the University of Surrey, said the whole case had made him sad.

“It didn’t need to escalate the way it did,” he said.

Maguire was given a suspended sentence of 21 months and 10 days in prison.
