- Maguire disappointed to have been cut from England squad
The Greek prosecution lawyer at the centre of the Harry Maguire case has criticised what he described as the footballer’s “fantasy tales” after the Manchester United captain spoke of fearing for his life following a violent brawl and his arrest on Mykonos.
Days after he was found guilty of aggravated assault, verbal abuse, resisting arrest and attempted bribery, Maguire told the BBC he had been “scared for my life” and afraid he was being kidnapped when detained by undercover policemen on the Aegean island last week.
