Greece is a member of the EU so could just issue an EU Arrest Warrant. On entry to any EU country he'd be subsequently arrested and sent to Greece, where he'd then also be facing more charges.
Harry Maguire involved in incident with police in Greece - conviction nullified by appeal, full retrial pending

As someone from Balkans, this has to be like biggest bullshit I've seen in a while.
Next time just go to Croatia, ffs

Lucky EU that will have to keep bailing Greece out of trouble.
I still have no idea how people in this thread adamantly claim things while knowing very little about Greece, judicial procedures and the case itself.

Mate. Do you honestly think you could prove beyond reasonable doubt, in a 1 day trial, that someone committed aggravated assault and bribery? Without any evidence other than police testimony?
I don't even think he was found guilty of those charges either. The twitter post said he was given a suspended sentence due to being found guilty of misdemeanours. So they may have reduced the charges at sentencing.
I think we're all getting a little heated and emotional about this. Its fascinating to see some peoples sense of right and wrong.
It also reveals how different of backgrounds/cultures we come from.
Greece has a higher GDP than Luxembourg, Croatia, Estonia and Hungary to name a few. It is lots of things, but "third world" (what a derogatory term) it is not.
I get you are annoyed that Maguire has been found guilt in a Court of Law. But maybe you should be annoyed with him.
I look perfectly fine, mate. Thanks for asking. Good response to what I actually said.
Just as a reminder, I said that Mykonos (and Greece in general) are places you can go to for things other than getting drunk.
You said our players should be 'banned' from going there which, as previously mentioned, is a load of crap.
Wish him the best. My opinion remains he should be stripped of the captaincy.

2nd most corrupt country in the EU, with a notoriously corrupt police force. Well done Greece 
, what a joke of a country.
, what a joke of a country.If Europol and/or interpol get involved he better stay away from ports and airports. Train stations are generally workable for fugitives but still risky.
While that is true it also depends on where you frequent and what kind of person you are. I suspect the same is also true in the UK, but someone else who live their would have to chime in.
I just won’t believe and trust a justice system that gives you two hours to prepare a legal defence. I would have thought that’s normal. You want to believe it, go ahead. It just makes you look embarrassing and hysterical.
This will rumble on and on
So if someone murders someone out of the blue they should be released without charge as there was no evidence of them ever murdering anyone before ?
This isn't a conspiracy against England and every other country is not corrupt and out to get you .
The guy was on holiday went out to a party had lot to drink got into a brawl and that is pretty much that .
Whatever way you want to paint it it doesn't paint a good picture of him . Rashford and Williams were in Greece too they didn't get get arrested for fighting or anything else .
Maguire needs to look at why he got himself into this situation and ensure it doesn't happen again . Maybe he needs to have people around him to keep things like this happening .
I remember Giggs always had people looking out for him . When you are in the public eye you need to be aware of yourself at all times especially if you are Captain of Manchester United
So everything from Maguire's side of the story is false while pleading not guilty and is still looking to appeal the verdict, and everything from the Greek police's side is true in a trial that finished in a day after details of the charges were given to the defendants just 2 hrs before the trial? No one has to turn a blind eye to see there're a lot of things thats fishy here.
Maybe the club should just stop players going on holiday after the Jesse Lingard fiasco last year.
I know his brother fairly well having played football with and against him afew times and he also went to a school with some mutual friends. I’m inclined to believe his comments that this is nothing more than a smear campaign. Honestly can anyone say with a straight face this case looks normal?
How long is average?
Are you trying to say this is just one massive conspiracy by the Greek Government to lockup Maguire?
True!
Well done to him if he was defending his sister. The "trial" sounds like a load of bollocks.
Of course that can happen. But that's not really what we're discussing.
You really don't like Maguire do you? Seems you're brushing over what actually is being reported happened, bizarrely bringing in the poor media treatment of Sterling and also taking the word of the Greek police as gospel.
This happened on Thursday with a trial and conviction by Tuesday? And the court was uncharacteristically kept open due to ' extenuating circumstances' ... come on, grow up.
WorstusTakeusYetus.
Its much more common to come across crime and police over here. Especially if you live or frequent certain areas at night. I.e. Greater London/Greater Manchester
That's according to this link: BBCWait what?
Surely this is a criminal case.
There's a bit more to it, I think.
If I remember correctly you are studying law. Is it normal to be given two hours to prepare a legal defence? Does that indicate a trustworthy judicial system? I’m happy to be proven wrong, I wonder what you think.
You said there's no reason to believe he's a nice guy based on his ruthlessness, I responded with something you didn't want to hear so it's "bashing".
With a bit of luck we won’t have a extradition treaty with Greece after the hard Brexit and nobody can touch Maguire as long as he doesn’t go further south than Bramhall. And we can start exporting our own Kalamata olives and feta cheese. Malakka pistil!!!
I'm only going to report stuff that was reported by various sources across the board:
- Harry, his sister, and his mates were out enjoying themselves in Mykonos.
- At a bar, Harry's sister was drugged by a couple of Albanian dudes.
- Harry and his mates called for some help to take his sister to a hospital. A van came over to pick them up, and Harry, his sister, and his group all boarded it.
- Instead of taking them to the hospital, the van took them to a police station.
- They were met by police officers in plain clothes. Harry + his group and the officers in plain clothes had an altercation.
- Afterwards, Harry and a couple of his mates were arrested on the charges that we now know about.
- There is video footage of the altercation that happened outside of the police station, but this was never brought up in court.
- Maguire and his group were assaulted by the plain-clothed officers first.
- The officers told Maguire that his career would be over, that he'd never play football again.
- Maguire and his group acted in self-defence.
Yeah I get you but not all Greek police are corrupt in the same way that not all English footballers get into fights abroad
I was gonna have a kebab tonight but feck them It's a chippy tea now.
I've only had good experiences with the police in Denmark at least. They're usually quite sensible as well.This. Most people I know have never had any interaction with the police and most likely never will either. Hey, maybe we Scandinavians just live sheltered lives?
I honestly don’t know, I’m sure each country is different and I’m no legal expert, but I refuse to believe that’s normal. I would expect at least a couple of days.
You and your lawyers get a call that you’re being charged with x and y and to be ready in 2 hours. That can’t be normal.
Good lad.
A taxi driver tried to rip off an English tourist, after a short argue the English tourist was beaten up by the texi driver, a bouncer and a police officer and arrested. This was the Greek way....
A saw the scene from the beginning to the end and was told to shut up by another officer. No one was interested to find out what happened.
