Italian authorities seize huge amount of cash from Snoop Dogg

Uh-oh, it looks like Snoop Dogg has got himself into a bit of trouble with Italian police.

The rapper was apparently stopped by financial police in southern Italy while he was carrying almost €400,000 in cash.

That is nearly 40 times the amount you can take over the border without declaring it to Custom officials.

Snoop is currently touring Europe following the release of his album Bush. His lawyer Andrea Parisi said that he will have to pay a fine, report The Guardian. Parisi then told the press this weekend:

“The money came from concerts he had performed around Europe. There was no crime; it was just an administrative infraction.”

Snoop, real name Calvin Broadus , was given back half of the money while the other half was being held by authorities in Italy. They will keep it until the amount of the fine due to be paid is decided on, Snoop’s lawyer explained.

This isn’t the first during his recent tour this he has had some run-ins with the law. Only last week while in Sweden he claimed he had been racial profiled by authorities when they stopped him on suspicions of drug use.

The rapper was questioned and tested for suspected drug use, but the results will not be available for some time.

Back in 2012 he got himself banned from entering Norway for two years after he was found in possession with 8 grams of marijuana.
