Former Australia cricketer Stuart MacGill was allegedly abducted near his home in Sydney on April 14.
The 50-year-old MacGill was allegedly abducted and was taken to another part of the city where he was beaten and threatened with a gun. MacGill, however, was freed an hour after his capture and no ransom was paid for his release. Leggie waited five days to report the incident but police said he was "purely" a victim.
“I know that I have done nothing wrong, Maria has done nothing wrong. If people choose to think something contrary to what’s been presented by both myself and the police, then that’s up to them,” MacGill told Australian broadcaster Nine Network.

New South Wales state police charged four men over the incident, including the brother of MacGill's partner Maria O'Meagher, and said on Monday they were searching for three other men believed to be involved.
Police said MacGill had introduced his partner's brother to a reputed drug dealer known to police as "Sonny" before his alleged abduction.
MacGill who worked as a manager at a Sydney restaurant owned by his partner said he and his partner introduced people "all the time" in their capacity as restaurateurs.
The former Australia cricketer then talked about how this current situation has affected his family by saying, “It's hurt my family, and I know that a lot of people don’t really know what’s going on, But I can put both of us in the same boat too. We don’t know what’s going on.”
