New details have emerged of how an undercover police operation investigating the alleged abduction of former cricketer Stuart MacGill helped gather the damning evidence needed to make four arrests.
The retired spin bowler was allegedly confronted outside his unit on Sydney s lower north shore on April 14, forced into a vehicle and taken 60 kilometres to Bringelly in western Sydney.
MacGill was allegedly held against his will after becoming embroiled in an alleged $660,000 cocaine rip-off before he was driven to Belmore and released.
Marino Sotiropoulos, the brother of MacGill s girlfriend Maria O Meagher was one of four men arrested last week, along with Son Minh Nguyen Nguyen, 42, Richard Schaaf, 29, and his brother Frederick, 27.
