Snoop Dogg, a person whose mind is generally on or in the vicinity of his money, must have been distracted when he was detained over the weekend at an Italian airport, carrying more than $US 422,000 in cash.
While nobody was questioning how Snoop came by the money, European Union rules state that travellers must declare any amount greater than €10,000 when travelling through airports.
Snoop failed to tell anybody about the fat wad that he had stored in his Louis Vuitton luggage, and so authorities confiscated it, seizing half, which they plan to hold until they work out how much he will be fined.
His lawyer clarified the situation, telling reporters that:
“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.”
Snoop has had a fairly rough trip through Europe. Earlier in the week, he was detained by Swedish authorities on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drugs. He later accused them of racial profiling.
Hopefully nobody told him that Westeros is not a real place in Europe, or he’ll really be spewing.
