Ex-Test Cricketer Stuart MacGill Found Guilty in Cocaine Supply Case

A Sydney jury convicted MacGill of involvement in a drug deal but acquitted him of large-scale cocaine supply charges.

Stuart MacGill, a former Australian Test cricketer, was convicted of participating in the supply of cocaine in Sydney in April 2021.
The jury determined that MacGill facilitated a meeting between his regular drug dealer and his brother-in-law under his restaurant on Sydney’s north shore.
Prosecutors argued that the deal, involving $330,000 for a kilogram of cocaine, required MacGill's involvement, though he denied knowledge of the transaction's scale.
MacGill was acquitted of more serious charges related to large-scale drug supply but found guilty of the lesser charge of taking part in drug supply.
The 54-year-old is scheduled to return to court in May for sentencing following the jury's verdict.
