Snoop’s lawyer, Andea Parisi said the money was from the rapper’s concerts, nothing illegal and will only have to pay a fine.

“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.” his lawyer said. He also said half of the money was later returned to Snoop while the other half is still with the Italian police.
