Snoop Dogg detained by Italian customs for carrying $420,000 in cash

The latest in a lifetime of hazy-brained bumbles from Snoop Dogg involved the rapper holding a different kind of green.

While traveling to Calabria, Italy for a weekend performance, Tha Doggfather (and former Lion) was stopped by “financial police” for his carry-on of $422,000 in undeclared cash. As it turns out, outside visitors of the EU are required to declare amounts over €10,000.

Snoop didn’t serve any time for the case that they gave him and played the Italian concert as scheduled (take note, Foo Fighters). However, authorities took action and impounded half of the cash in accordance with money-laundering laws. They will return it in due time, minus any fines levied, in case you’re worried about his munchie budget for the vacation.
