“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,” Mr. MacGill told Channel Nine’s A Current Affair in an interview that aired on Monday night.

“We consider ourselves to be the innocent parties in this one. Part of hospitality is making sure the room works. We introduce people to other people all the time,” he told the program. We introduce people to other people as a matter of building, generating a bit of heat around the venue and that’s pretty much all you need to know.” he added.

It is learned that there was a deal between Marino and Sonny regarding the supply of cocaine but Marino suffered a loss due to Sonny. Thus, he demanded $150,000 in compensation from Mr. MacGill because of his matchmaking role. It is reported that Marino has told police that Stuart knew about the deal and was benefiting from the deal between him and Sonny.
