Miller was arrested Tuesday at his home in Sydney after officers discovered methamphetamine hidden in candles last month, Australian police said.
Another 47-year-old man was arrested along with the 45-year-old former swimmer.
The police accuse Miller of leading a criminal gang. “Others worked under his instructions,” the statement said.
Both men are suspected of illegally shipping drugs to the state of New South Wales in Australia.
“It was not a small operation,” Detective John Watson told the AP news agency. “They were well organized and well funded.”
Police found more than 1.5 million candles. dollars worth of methamphetamine. Officials also discovered a kilogram of heroin, cash, phones, documents and other items during the search, CNN reported.
“They looked like ordinary candles. But they lacked odor, Watson said. “There was death and suffering in them.”
Miller was not just a swimmer himself.
He won two Olympic medals, silver in the 100-meter bow tie and bronze in the 4,100-meter medley relay, at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
He was already arrested in 2008 when police discovered a tablet press and its storage in a building. Also, in 2013, Miller weighed in on other drug charges.
