Former Australia Test cricketer Stuart MacGill was kidnapped from his home in Syndey on April 14 and was threatened and beat in some other part of the city, as per various media reports in Australia citing the federal police. According to a report in The Age, one of his abductors was the brother of his recent partner Maria O’Meagher. The person is named Marino Sotiropoulos, who is the owner of Aristotle’s restaurant in Neutral Bay, where the former leg-spin bowler works as a general manager. The other three men have been identified as Son Minh Nguyen, and brothers Frederick and Richard Schaaf. Sotiropoulos was accused of being a member of a criminal gang and of supplying a significant commercial quantity of a controlled substance. Another report in The Australian claimed that Sotiropoulos saw the kidnapping of McGill as a potential chance to end his debt but Detective Acting Superintendent Anthony Holton has said that the 44-year-old MacGill did not owe any money to the charged group, including Sotiropoulos. MacGill made his debut in 1998 and shone to prominence after bowling magnificently on the tour of West Indies in 1999. He could play only 44 Tests and only one one day internationals for Australia.
