Lawyer: 'Police officers still waiting for Harry Maguire apology'

The lawyer who represented two police officers in the Harry Maguire assault case says it is "shocking" that there has been no apology from the Manchester United captain and his co-defendants.

Maguire, along with his brother Joe and their friend Christopher Sharman, were found guilty of assaulting a police officer, swearing, resisting arrest and attempted bribery at a court on the Greek island of Syros on Tuesday.

He was handed a suspended 21-month prison sentence.

The 27-year-old England defender, who did not attend Tuesday's trial, quickly indicated his intention to appeal, releasing a statement saying he and his family and friends were the victims in this case.

Paradissis said this was "irrelevant" in respect of the assault on the officers and said it was "strange" that Maguire's sister had not mentioned this when she was interviewed by police.

Asked whether Maguire and his co-defendants would have known the officers were police, Paradissis said: "Of course, because that's the first thing they said. The police officers were there for other duties and they heard a brawl.

"So they heard some people fighting and went there to break up a fight. They said, 'We're police, stop fighting'. They were not in uniform but they showed their professional IDs."

Maguire signed a boot deal with Puma worth a reported £700,000 a year last year.

The sportswear manufacturer declined to comment on whether Maguire's conviction would have any impact on the deal when contacted by the PA news agency on Wednesday morning.
