Former cricketer Stuart MacGill is on trial in Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court, accused of involvement in a $330,000 cocaine deal.

Prosecutors allege the 53-year-old facilitated a meeting between a street-level dealer, referred to as “Person A,” and his brother-in-law, Marino Sotiropoulos, in a Neutral Bay car park in April 2021.

MacGill is accused of being present during negotiations for the exchange of 1kg of cocaine, but denies any knowledge of the transaction.

His lawyer, Thos Hodgson, argued in court that MacGill received no benefit from the alleged drug deal and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The trial before Judge Nicole Noman continues.
