Manchester United captain Harry Maguire, one of the most high-profile soccer players in England, was arrested in the early hours of Friday following a late-night incident on Mykonos.
United released a statement prior to Mr Maguire’s appearance in Greek court in the Aegean island of Syros stating that he has been “fully co-operating” with Greek authorities.
The United defender along with his brother and a friend were arrested on charges of verbally abusing and using physical violence against police as well as attempted bribery, reported Greek state ERT TV.
