Bachelor star’s bombshell confession about her new life in an international crime syndicate – as she now faces up to 20 YEARS in jail
Bachelor star Marjorie Griffiths faces up to 20 years in jail after admitting commercial drug supply charges for selling kilos of cocaine and ice.
The 29-year-old confessed to the massive drug charges after police alleged she was part of a large-scale operation linked to a Vietnamese crime syndicate.
The blonde actress and model was arrested by organised crime squad detectives just months after her stint ended on season 10 of Network Ten’s The Bachelor.
They swooped in October 2023 after she sold 1kg of cocaine to an undercover police officer and another 1kg of MDMA to someone else over a three month period.
Heavily armed specialist NSW Police officers woke Griffiths during a dawn raid on her Umina Beach home, on the NSW Central Coast, and arrested her in her pyjamas.
Police say she was a major player in the drug syndicate which laundered cash for crime groups via cryptocurrency.
In a series of raids across the state, officers seized about 300kg of prohibited drugs, and $2.8million in cash.
They also found 15 firearms and arrested 12 accused, including Griffiths and one person charged with $6.8million in money laundering offences.

The former reality TV contestant and aspiring actor is currently out on bail, wearing an electronic tracking bracelet, after two months on remand in Silverwater prison.
She was originally charged with two counts of large commercial quantity drug supply, which have since been withdrawn.
But Griffiths has now pleaded guilty to two charges of commercial quantity supply and is currently awaiting sentence.
Earlier this year, she pleaded guilty to another minor offence of failing to supply digital evidence.
Just two years ago, Griffiths was riding high with her new-found TV fame among the contestants vying for the attention of The Bachelor’s hunky Thomas Malucelli, a restaurant manager from Tuscany, Italy.
Described as a ‘blonde beauty’ who would ‘get pulses racing in the mansion’, Griffiths notably told one of the other girls that she looked like a ‘squashed toilet roll’.
She lasted 12 weeks on the show before she became the fourth wannabe bride Malucelli sent home.
Griffiths will remain on bail until her sentence is finalised, with the NSW District Court setting down a possible date in February 2026 after a sentencing assessment hearing at the Downing Centre later this month.

As part of her extensive bail conditions, she must abstain from drugs and alcohol and follow a strict curfew.
She is also not allowed to use any internet-capable device, and can only possess one phone.
Detectives have identified a 37-year-old man in Vietnam as the alleged mastermind of the money laundering syndicate in NSW.
