Australian ex-cricketer Stuart MacGill found guilty of being part of cocaine-supply deal
A jury found the retired leg-spinner guilty of knowingly taking part in the supply of a prohibited drug
Former Australian Test cricketer Stuart MacGill was on Thursday found guilty of taking part in the supply of cocaine, local media reported.
Police said the retired leg-spinner introduced his personal cocaine dealer to an associate in 2021.
The pair went on to organise a US$200,000 drug deal between themselves, police alleged.
Although MacGill was not involved in the subsequent transaction, a jury found him guilty of knowingly taking part in the supply of a prohibited drug, national broadcaster ABC reported.
The jury found the 54-year-old not guilty on a more serious charge of taking part in commercial-scale drug supply.
The jury heard the ex-cricketer was a regular user of cocaine and bought the drug from the dealer for several years.
