On August 5, 2020, Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was detained for questioning on the Greek island of Mykonos after allegedly being involved in an incident in which police officers were assaulted.
According to Greek state TV ERT, officers were called in to break up a brawl between two groups of tourists, during which two other Britons were also detained.
"The soccer player was verbally abusive to an officer and then hit him," a police official said. "The three were resisting when brought to the Mykonos police station."
Manchester United issued a statement saying they were aware of the incident involving Maguire, stating that they had made contact with him and he was fully cooperating with the Greek authorities.
Maguire and the two other detainees will be taken by ship to the nearby island of Syros, where they will face charges by a public prosecutor.
