Kidnapping Incident Sparks Investigation

The retired leg-spinner first came to the attention of detectives in April 2021 when he was allegedly kidnapped by a group of armed men outside his apartment in affluent northern Sydney.

Following an extensive investigation into the abduction incident, law enforcement authorities now assert that MacGill’s kidnapping was connected to his role in a drug deal.

Charges Against MacGill

Police have formally charged MacGill with one count of “knowingly” participating in the supply of a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug.
