Australian cricketing great Stuart MacGill has appeared in court for the first time after being charged with taking part in a 1kg cocaine deal linked to his alleged kidnapping.
Mr MacGill on Thursday made his first appearance before Manly Local Court after he was earlier this year charged by police over his alleged role in a drug deal.
According to court documents, Mr MacGill is alleged to have taken part in the supply of one kilogram of cocaine at Neutral Bay, on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, between April 1 and April 14 in 2021. According to police allegations, he was taken to a property at Bringelly in southwestern Sydney where he was assaulted, threatened with a gun and demands were made for money.
