Snoop Dogg was stopped on Saturday by financial police in southern Italy while carrying $422,000 in cash, The Guardian reports. As this is above the limit that can be transported across European Union borders, Snoop’s lawyer says he will have to pay a fine.

“We clarified everything from a legal point of view,” his attorney, Andrea Parisi, told Reuters. “The money came from concerts he had performed around Europe. There was no crime; it was just an administrative infraction.”

Half of the cash was returned to the rapper, Parisi said, while the other half is being held by Italian authorities.

Last week, Snoop was stopped in Sweden on suspicion of drug use. “They didn’t find shit,” he later said.
