Snoop Dogg cash seized at Italy airport

After stopping him on Saturday as he prepared to board a private plane, Italian police seized half of the $422,000 under money laundering laws.

The money is likely to be returned, with a fine deducted, the Italian financial police say.

Andrea Parisi, a lawyer representing the artist, told Reuters: “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.”
