During a normal routine check at Lamezia Terme (Italy), the US rapper (Snoop Dogg) was found with $422,820 in U.S. cash, a police source told CNN. The maximum amount of cash that passengers traveling through Italy can carry without declaring it is €10,000 ($11,010.25). The rules were put in place to prevent money laundering.
To be exact,
Italian Finance Police seized $205,933, the source said.
The rapper
arrived in the country's southern region earlier this week in his private jet
for a performance in the village of Montepaone. He told police that the cash
was to pay his band for concerts in Italy and elsewhere, the source said.
Snoop Dogg
then left for London. The finance police will open an investigation into the
Italian concert and how the rapper was paid.
