Former Australian Cricketer Stuart MacGill Convicted in Cocaine Supply Case

MacGill was found guilty of facilitating a cocaine deal in 2021 but acquitted of involvement in large-scale drug supply.

Stuart MacGill, a former Australian Test cricketer, was convicted of participating in the supply of cocaine in a Sydney court.
The case centered on MacGill introducing his partner's brother to his regular drug dealer, which prosecutors argued facilitated a $330,000 cocaine deal.
The jury cleared MacGill of knowingly participating in a large-scale drug supply but found him guilty of a lesser charge of involvement in the transaction.
MacGill's sentencing has been scheduled for May, following an eight-week adjournment for further proceedings.
The 54-year-old, who played 44 Tests for Australia, has faced significant personal and legal challenges post-retirement, including a 2021 kidnapping incident linked to the drug deal.
