Now on bbc news the Manchester United defender and England InternationalHarry Maguire speaks to the bbcs dan roan saying he feared for his life and thought he was being kidnapped when he was arrested on the island of mykonos. Since he left a greek courthouse on saturday, Harry Maguire has not been seen or heard. In his absence, hes been found guilty of assaulting police and handed a suspended sentence after a night out on mykonos went wrong but finally, the united and england star has broken his silence, telling me what it was like to spend two nights in custody. Harry, good to see you, thanks for your time today. First of all, how have you been the last couple of days . How are you now, how tough has it been these few days . Its been tough. A situation which i didnt expect to find myself in. A terrible night, what happened. Its been tough for myself, my family, my friends. And yeah, like you say, its been something that i didnt expect. I found myself in the situation now. Mentally im getting better, im a strong person, at the moment my family are probably suffering a little bit more than myself. So, im sure i will look after them. What was it like spending two nights in greek police cells . It was really hard. Its not something that i ever want to do again. I dont wish it on anybody. Its the first time ive ever been inside a prison. Yeah, its been hard for myself but probably it has been a lot harder for my family, for the girls who was there that night and seeing everything, theyre the ones who are probably suffering a little bit more. We will come to exactly what happened in a moment. The last time we saw you was when you left court on saturday and as you know on tuesday, we learned that you were found guilty. What was that moment like when you heard that the judges had found you guilty . It was horrible. It was such a quick turnaround, we got the pages for the transcript for the court on the evening before, a big document all in greek so we had to translate it. I hardly had any chance to speak to my lawyer. So, it all happened so quick. We absolutely did not expect the trial to go ahead but when it did, obviously, it was just trying to keep your mind focused. When they delivered the verdict, i couldnt quite believe it to be honest. Talk us through the events of thursday night last week. What exactly happened, how did it begin . Well, it began by obviously going on holiday in couples, with me, my brother, my girlfriend, two friends and their girlfriends and my little sister. We had drinks in a place called bombier. We text the guy can we get picked up and meet us here. For some reason the driver was 20 minutes late. We were outside waiting for the minibus, we were going back to the villa. These two men approached my little sister, asked her where she was from, she responded and then my fiance fern had seen my Little Sisters eyes going to the back of her head. She ran over, she was fainting. Sorry. People were pointing at the two men and then as everyone was shouting and screaming trying to point out the men who we felt were the two who had done what they had done, three greek men got involved all in plainclothes. And they werent really trying to cause a big argument or scuffle, just a lot of shouting and commotion. No fighting as what has been reported. Nothing, no punches thrown. Hopefully we can get the cctv from the event and everyone will see. They were just being a little aggressive with what they were doing and eventually the bus turned up and our everyones concern was daisy. So we managed to get everyone on the bus and literally that was it. We went straight to the minibus driver and told him to take us back to the villa and then we were going to go to the hospital. Daisy was at this point coming in and out of consciousness to be fair she recovered fairly quickly so after a couple of minute she had come round and didnt know what happened. We just told him to take us back to the villa which was 15 20 minutes away, it must have turned left on this road and after about 5 10 minutes and, it stopped and parked up alongside the road and we looked outside and there was eight men surrounding the bus all in plainclothes. The doors fly open. I was the first to react in terms of i went to the door the first. They threw me off the bus. My mate was the second one they threw him off the bus. So we were just stood outside the bus while a couple of men on the bus all dressed in plain clothes and they start getting a bit rough and aggressive with the girls. And at this point, a lot of people have said before that we were getting robbed. My initial thought was that we were getting kidnapped. Me and my friend ran. We ran about 50 metres. I could still see the bus. I phoned my agent, put a lot of messages into a group chat of people who were looking after us and mykonos. And then i thought we need to start walking back to the bus. I could always see the bus but i got myself some distance so i could make this phone call. And as we were walking back, four men started walking towards us. I looked at my mate and i was like what do we do . I looked behind us and they had circled the perimeter while we were waiting on the phone and four men started closing in from behind. They started running towards us. We got down on our knees, we put our hands in the air. And then theyjust started hitting us. Handcuffed me, they were hitting my legs, saying my career is over, no more football. You wont play again. And at this point, i thought theres no chance. These are police or i dont know who they are. So i tried to run away. I had one hand in the handcuff, this is where the charges of come from. They said it was resisting arrest and theyre saying what the assault is. No punches have been thrown. They said i hurt someones back while i was running because i was trying to run away because i didnt know who these guys were, i did not believe they were the police and eventually they caught us, they put us in the handcuffs, we didnt get away but i was in the handcuffs and put us down in the so called prison. The next minute my brother sits next tous and i asked him what they did to him and i dont want to speak on of his story because its not coming from his mouth but they said they went up to him and said you are his brother, grabbed him and put him alongside me. We were there for half an hour, they were just abusing us in terms of telling me my football career was over, no more football and then after half an hour they put me in a cell and that was probably the time that i felt a little bit of relief, as crazy as it sounds because there were other people in the cell and they told me to calm down and that i was in prison. Thats the first time i believed i was actually ever in prison. And at that moment where was your sister daisy and where was your fiancee . At this moment they were on the bus, they got off the bus, they took off my brother and they were taunting the girls on the bus. They went up to my sister and said you are his sister and laughed in herface. How did they know you were a premier league footballer, did they recognise you, did you tell them . I dont think so. I think they recognised me from what happened in mykonos town centre. Because as soon as i went on to my knees and they come at me and i know especially there was a strong image of one guy who was the most aggressive of them all who was hitting my legs and saying football is over. You think he might have recognised you or did you say who you were to him at this point . No i did not speak to any of them. They did not speak to us, they did not show us the badges, they didnt do anything, they were just plainclothes. So you think this attack at what became clear was a Police Station, was it all stemmed from the brawl, this disagreement, this altercation that had occurred a few minutes before amid this anxiety and panic over what happened to your sister . I think it stems from that. But one thing which is strange, we told the minibus driver to take us to the villa, he has dropped us at the so called Police Station without telling us. So, we get to this Police Station, we parked on the side of the road and we have eight men who were dressed in plainclothes surrounding our bus and started being really aggressive. And thats pretty much where the assault come from on my behalf. There were no punches thrown as what is been reported. And even in this statement, they say the assault has come from me being aggressive when i was trying to run away. The court heard that you abused the police, is that true . On that statement, i am pretty sure they said that i hurt a policemans back and arm. Is that true . When i had my hand in the air in the handcuff when i tried running away, i didnt realise they were the police i probably thought i was being kidnapped. I dont think i hit him. Put it this way, i didnt hurt him as much as they hurt me. How bad did they hurt you . They hit me on the legs. It wasnt on my mind i was in that much of a panic, fear, scared for my life. You feared for your life . Yeah, for sure all the way through it. Unti i got into the prison cell, the panic and anxiety did not come away for me. The court heard that you offered and tried to bribe the police that you said do you know who i am . I play for man united, im very rich, i can pay you, let us go. Those were the quotes. Did you try to bribe the police . No. Do you know who i am . I knew they knew who i was five minutes before they were picking me minutes before they were beating me up say my career was over so i knew they knew who i was for i had seen that statement it isjust ridiculous. You categorically deny every trying to bribe the police . Yeah, for sure. There was never any bribing involved. At the moment, we were in the entrance of the prison, we were so distraught, we were crying. I still didnt believe where i was. I actually saw one Police Officer in uniform walked past. And i still couldnt believe myself to believe i was ina couldnt believe myself to believe i was in a Police Station with what had just gone on. What do you put it down to . What you think way behind their actions as you describe . Was it jealousy . Were they trying to make an example of you . Where they are angry at you . Was it a case of misunderstanding . What do you think led to that level of violence . I dont know. The answer isl violence . I dont know. The answer is i cant pinpoint what or why. I know some of the more aggressive more than others. I have pictures of people in my mind who was the aggressive ones and so does my friend to him as well. So, its been going through my mind but i cant a nswer going through my mind but i cant answer that question. Whether it was, like you say, jealousy, stitched up, misunderstanding, i really dont know. So, you deny abusing, assaulting the police, and trying to bribe them. And, yet, the police testified against you, they said you did do that and thejudges agreed you had. How did that make you feel when they believed that side of the story . It made me feel angry, the situation, what went through, in terms of giving us the amount of time we had for a trial, i had no idea of rare outcome. Youve appealed and been granted a retrial which means your conviction is nullified, you are an innocent man in the eyes of the greek legal system is how confident are you that you will eventually clear your name . I have great faith in the greek law, the retrial will give us more time to prepare. Gather the evidence, allow witnesses into the court. And im really confident the truth will be told and come out. You are a high profile guy, there are plenty of places you could go where you are in private, shut away, not in a private place. Do you accept you were, ina private place. Do you accept you were, in a way asking for trouble being in that place that night . No. I think it could have happened anywhere. I love greece. I love the people there. Ive been to six or seven ol people there. Ive been to six or seven or eight greek islands, i go most yea rs seven or eight greek islands, i go most years in my time off. And my family. We love greece. I dont feel like i would have done anything different in terms of regretting going to mykonos. Ive been before and had a great time. So, no, i dont. Who do you own an apology to come if anybody . I dont feel i owe an apology to anybody. An apology is when youve done something wrong. I regret being in the situation. I dont wish it on anybody. Others, the situation has made it difficult. I played one of the biggest clubs in the world so i regret putting the fa ns the world so i regret putting the fans and club through this. But i did nothing wrong. Ifound myself in a situation where it could have happened to anybody. And anywhere. You are found guilty of abusing and assaulting the police and of attempting to bribe them. Given all that, how can you remain captain of one of the biggest clubs in the world . One of the biggest clubs in the world . Obviously, you see a lot of reports going around, and it is such a huge honour to be a captain of Manchester United, something im really proud of, it is a massive privilege to play for the club, never mind be a captain. Its not my decision to make, but one thing ill say is how supportive the club have been, from top to bottom, theyve been, from top to bottom, theyve been great with me and i thank them for that. How much does it mean to you to hear, as it stands, they seem to wa nt you to hear, as it stands, they seem to want you to remain as captain, theyve backed you, how much does it mean to you at this time . It means everything. Obviously, it has been such a difficult time. My main focus is obviously family. The next thing next to my family is football. So, playing for Manchester United is something i love it. And the club, honestly, has been great with me. Do you understand why Gareth Southgate withdrew you from the england squad after he initially named you after he heard the verdict . Yes, i understand. Obviously, im disappointed. I love playing for my country. Im physically and mentally ready to play. So i am disappointed but of course i understand. As ever with these cases theres been a lot of speculation, reporting of things which were a little unclear about how much money was spent, about how much alcohol was consumed. I have to ask about that kind of thing. Were you worse for wear, were ask about that kind of thing. Were you worse for wear, were you ask about that kind of thing. Were you worse for wear, were you drunk, was that a factor in all this . Im not going to say i didnt have a drink all day. Anybody who knows me, who has been out with me knows howl am when ive had a few drinks. Im a lwa ys am when ive had a few drinks. Im always aware. I wasnt really drunk. I knew what going off. Just found myself in a bad situation. Should you have avoided that situation, looking back now . You were filmed with members of the public, people taking a photograph of you earlier in the week. You didnt need to be there. Looking back now, was that a mistake . No. I think there. Looking back now, was that a mistake . No. Ithink us there. Looking back now, was that a mistake . No. I think us footballers get a bit of stick for trying to stay away from everything, and it isnt how i want to live my life. Ive always been really open. If someone ive always been really open. If someone wants a picture, they get it. If someone wants something signing, isign it. If someone wants something signing, i sign it. It. If someone wants something signing, isign it. I it. If someone wants something signing, i sign it. I dont feel the need for that. It has probably changed my mind on that. This long season changed my mind on that. This long season has been extended for obvious reasons. Youve lived life so carefully you and your colleagues, being tested so regularly because of the pandemic. Inevitably this time is for you to relax but do you think it isa is for you to relax but do you think it is a mistake for you to be in such a busy environment . No. Honestly, we have had a long, hard season and we wanted to get away for a break and i dont see myself regretting going out there. Ive been to mykonos before and had a great time. Ive been with my family before and had a great time. I cant say i regret going out. I think i found myself in a bad situation. How much harm have you done to your reputation, do you think . How much do you regret that . In terms of my reputation and character, my character and personality will stay the same. Obviously, its not nice in bad reports on yourself and everything that has gone off and the stories that have gone through. Obviously, this clears things up because no one actually knew what went off that night. We had a court case and, still, the stories coming out of the court case are so far away from the truth, its incredible. My character and things will stay the same, my personality will stay the same, my personality will stay the same, my personality will stay the same, i am strong mentally and i will come over this. There will be some who dont believe you, inevitably. How much does it bother you and what would your message be to them . It doesnt bother me, to be honest. My friends and family know what happened that night, thats the main thing, the people who are close to you, the ones people who are close to you, the o
