Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has pleaded not guilty and was released from police custody following his arrest on the island of Mykonos.
The court date for the 27-year-old has been set for Tuesday, but Maguire can be represented by his lawyer and will now be returning home.
It is not clear what specific charges the English defender faces.
Maguire did not comment after leaving court on Saturday and his attorney told Sky he was a free man “at the moment”.
Syros’ prosecutor’s office said on Friday that “three foreigners” were arrested on Thursday after an alleged altercation with police officers in Mykonos.
Police say a file has been opened that includes allegations of “violence against officials, disobedience, personal injury, insults and attempted bribery of an official”.
Maguire, who was on holiday in Greece, joined United from Leicester for £ 80m – a world record for a defender – in August 2019.
A statement from United said: “Following the court appearance today, we take note of the update of the case to allow the legal team to review the file.
“Harry has pleaded not guilty to the charges. It would be inappropriate for the player or club to comment further as the legal process runs its course.”
Greek police said in a statement Friday that the officers had tried to break up an altercation between two groups outside a bar and that the three foreigners had then verbally insulted and assaulted one of the officers.
The statement states that after arriving at the Mykonos police station, the three arrested then “resisted strongly, pushing and beating three police officers” and that “one of the detainees tried to offer money so that the trial against them was not completed “.
