Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg was on Friday the last day of July apprehended by Italian Authorities as he prepared to board a private plane bound for Britain with $422,000 in cash in his luggage, said an Italian lawyer representing the entertainer.
In the European Union, the maximum amount of undeclared cash one can take on board a plane is 10,000 euros. Snoop Dogg, who has been touring Europe after releasing the album "Bush" earlier this year, will have to pay a fine, said Andrea Parisi, his lawyer.
Snoop was stopped at an Italian airport, where he's billed to perform, with approximately $422,000 in cash in his Louis Vuitton luggage.
According to Parisi, an Italian lawyer representing him, half of the money was impounded by Italian customs, while other half will be given to him after determining how and what fines to pay.
'We clarified everything from a legal point of view. The money came from concerts he had performed around Europe. There was no crime; it was just an administrative infraction,' Parisi disclosed.
