There is said to a real possibility it may never go ahead as officials fear it could have negative repercussions on Mykonos\u2019 reputation and tourism.<\/p>\n<p>Maguire\u2019s initial 2021 hearing was at first pushed back by two years due to knock-on effects of the coronavirus pandemic and has been subject to various delays. The\u00a0Manchester United\u00a0defender has always protested his innocence.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arriving back in England from Greece in 2020,\u00a0Maguire\u00a0gave an extensive interview to the\u00a0<em>BBC<\/em>\u00a0about the experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t feel I owe an apology to anybody. An apology is something when you have done something wrong,\u201d Maguire said. \u201cI regret putting the fans and club through this but I did nothing wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was horrible, not something I would want to do again. I don\u2019t wish it on anybody. It\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve been inside a prison.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have great faith in Greek law that the retrial will give us more time to prepare, gather the evidence and allow witnesses into the court.
