Harry Maguire's conviction 'nullified' and appeal for retrial accepted

 
Manchester United have revealed Harry Maguire has filed an appeal against his conviction for assault and attempted bribery following a brawl on the Greek island of Mykonos. The appeal nullified Maguire's conviction and a full retrial will follow. Maguire had been handed a suspended jail term of 21 months and 10 days on Tuesday. No dates have yet been set for the appeal and the club are aware it could take several months. A statement from United read: "An appeal against yesterday's verdict was lodged this morning by Harry's legal team. In accordance with the Greek judicial process, the filing of an appeal extinguishes the initial court verdict and nullifies the conviction. "The appeal has been accepted and will lead to a full retrial in a more senior court. This means that Harry has no criminal record and is once again presumed innocent until proven guilty. Accordingly, he is not subject to any international travel restrictions."
