Did you know that the legal definition of "assault" is as little as touching a police officer?

We do it when drunk, ones from abroad cause trouble representing their football clubs. Funny enough they are usually tanked up as well.
How would anyone know someones nationality just by looking at them? Albanian indeed. How would anyone know?
Unless they were in Albania jersies"!!
Or at least not go somewhere a lot more select - ie not somewhere rancid City fans are on hand to provide the aggravation.
Can't be that corrupt as they didn't even take Harrys bribes!
Obviously a sham trial and off the scale levels of corruption, no surprise in that part of the world.
No doubt the boozed up group including Harry did some shitty things, after scumbags drugged his sister which mitigates it quite a bit. Then some scummy bent police turned up and failed to handle it properly. The court then promptly cover up for the police's failings. They get a nice fat payday to round it off. The end.

When you incentivise guilty verdicts with monetary gain you know you’ve got an absolute joke of a legal system. Turns out crime does pay.
The same people who were laughing at Liverpool fans with Suarez years ago are probably the same now saying "He's been stitched up!"
Yep.
The "plain clothed police" who just happened to be at the scene.
Stinks of a set up.
It still feels like no details of what happened have actually been revealed. I'm far from being Maguire's biggest fan on the pitch but it does seem strange how hurried this process has been, and how they've slapped 4 charges on him without disclosing the incidents.
Unbelievable some of the comments. We need to get behind him and support him regardless.
Well, he has been convicted of aggravated assault and repeated attempts of bribery.
ah well once Fern says so its must be true - who the feck is Fern Hawkins?Tweet

Poor Harry. The lad is a victim of police brutality
Obviously dirty lying coppers at it again. When are they not.
There are a lot of people who agree with the sentiment, in fairness.
I think a lot of people from working class backgrounds will tell you what the police can be like.

This. Nicely summed up.
Are you a little hard of thinking to equate a racism charge in England, to a clear set up abroad?
Aggravated assault is the charge, though. It’s more than as little as touching a police officer.
This is very true. Assault can be nothing compared to Battery in this country anyway.
Yup, and I'm sure he has more than enough to appeal the matter.
Regardless of how corrupt their police force are or whether he was justified or not, the optics on this whole thing are still quite bad for the club despite however fans may feel
The club or Ole's hand will most likely be forced into taking some sort of punitive action

It's because a trial cannot go that fast, and the video should have been allowed as evidence. Do you often see trials where you get the charges 2 hours before the trial? The order of things clearly shows something is messed up. This is not normal, simply put. So you can only doubt that due diligence is being properly done.That’s the default position in this thread it seems. It’s been a bit weird seeing people in here deny any possibility of wrongdoing from Maguire and convincing themselves this was 100% Greek police scheming for a quick pay day. Even now, I doubt we’ll see any acknowledgement that it’s possible he’s not completely innocent. Yet we judged Liverpool fans for blindly sticking by Suarez
Maguire's fiancee
With quotes only someone with limited english would say in Corrie.
“feck, feck the police”
“I’m very rich, I can give you money”
Honestly have a word with yourself.When?
You’re literally claiming this to be something that would occur if you went out on the lash regularly, leading to a simple slap on the wrist etc.. You couldn’t normalise the aggravated assault and bribery more if you tried.
I mean I know you’re saying it mostly in jest, or at least I hope
The charges are serious, and should be treated as such. It may well be that something dodgy is at play here, but we have to take the guilty verdict right now and he has to be punished by the club accordingly, until any other evidence/developments arise. When/if they do then he can be handed back captaincy etc.
But until that moment, as a club, they can’t disrespect the judicial system of another country and effectively accuse them of lying by not punishing Maguire as if he is 100% guilty.
You really think you can prove aggravated assault and bribery in a one day trial?
Some of yous have your panties in a bunch over nothing.
His GF, mother to his kids.
Says them. He didn't really get much of a chance to defend himself if you aren't given much time to give evidence to the contrary.
He allegedly pushed a police office who fell and hurt his back. He then needed first aid and missed the next day from work.
It sounds dodgy as feck. Lawyer asks for more time as he was only given the full list of charges two hours before and there was footage of them getting 'mistreated by police' outside the station and wanted to review it.
They went ahead with the trial anyway.
And as for this:
But prosecutors allege that one of the defendants shouted: "F***, f*** the police," before striking an officer.
Had they been listening to NWA all night?
Ha ha!
Maguire should not have even allowed himself to be in that situation. Absolute stupidity. And it shows the players don't have anywhere near the same fear/respect they did with Fergie.
Ole will have to start laying down the law. Mr nice guy won't be enough to manage this situation. I wonder if he has it in his locker?
Read the post, it’s not hard to comprehend.
Sadly its not is it? The world is in a much worse state. But thats another story for another time.
That probably sums it up.
Woah, you must be pretty ‘ardHe will get a slap on the wrist, a fine and community service.
Some of yous haven't been out on the lash much
From Efsyn, one of Greece's biggest newspapers:
I imagine more details will come out soon. A Greek poster on Reddit said that in all criminal trials, court transcripts are released within a few weeks.
Ole the nice guy is a myth that's been debunked a thousand times at this stage.
Some people do it. Massive generalisation to just say it’s a British thing. Cnuts will act like cnuts wherever they go.
Alright Ed, put your wallet away.
It's literally 10 times more likely that the police were working with the scumbags who attacked his sister. They're genuinely that bad.
How has it been debunked?
If he'd actually offered to bribe them, chances are we'd have never heard anything about this whole incident.
