Snoop Dogg Tried To Travel With $422,000 In Cash

He was forced to surrender half to border agents in Italy.

August 01, 2015

Snoop Dogg was stopped at Lamezia Terme airport in Calabria, Italy today when agents found $422,000 in cash. This was a bit of a sottaceto (Italian for pickle) as travelers moving across EU borders must declare more than $11,000. But evidently Snoop was too busy - or just angry from having to give a urine sample to Swedish police - to do whatever it is people normally do when travelling with nearly half a million dollars.

According to ANSA, half of the money was seized under money laundering laws. Time reports that the money could be returned, with a fine as decided by the courts.
