Greenwood’s lawyer, David Toal, admitted the breach had taken place, saying: “I absolutely concede it is his responsibility to abide by all bail conditions imposed.”
He told the court: “Contact has occurred for many months.”
But Mr Toal added that it was “no secret” to Greater Manchester Police, putting forward a robust argument that Greenwood believed the breaches had been tacitly approved.
District Judge Mark Hadfield expressed “real concern” at the news, saying: “What I am being told is the defendant flagrantly breached the conditions over weeks or even months and police haven’t done anything about it.”
As I said footballers are untouchable, bloke continually broke the law and the police did nothing about it and instead gave him the freedom to coerce the victim. They're now together again, allegedly engaged with the blessing of her father lol. It's hard to give up that footballer money and that's what it's come down to.
