Bachelor star Marjorie Griffiths is facing a new charge on top of the charges she was already facing for allegedly supplying 1kg of methamphetamine and 1kg of cocaine.
Police allege the reality show contestant, known for flaunting her bikini body on Instagram, is a major player in an international drug syndicate and was personally involved in handling $814,870 from the proceeds of crime.

In a dramatic arrest, members of the NSW Raptor Squad marched through the quiet cul-de-sac where Griffiths lives just before 7am and emerged with her in handcuffs.
According to court documents, she allegedly failed to comply with an “access to digital evidence order” and was placed in the back of a waiting police van.
Griffiths, who describes herself on her professional profiles as an actor and model, was taken to Gosford police station and charged with seven offences. She has not applied for bail.
