OT Ballers be careful in Europe: Snoop Dogg fined for having $400k+ in cash

By all accounts his trip to Europe has been a cluster. 
quote:
Italian police stopped California rapper Snoop Dogg on Friday as he prepared to board a private plane bound for Britain with $422,000 in cash in his Louis Vuitton luggage, said an Italian lawyer representing the entertainer.
In the European Union, the maximum amount of undeclared cash one can take on board a plane is 10,000 euros ($10,986.00). Snoop Dogg, who has been touring Europe after releasing the album "Bush" earlier this year, will have to pay a fine, said Andrea Parisi, his lawyer.

He wasn't fined for having the cash he was detained because he didn't disclose he had it.

Really stupid on his part. The U.S. has the same rule. Just fricking declare it. The fine would probably happen if he entered the euro zone as a visitor but was actually conducting business.

I guess drug dealers don't take credit cards?

We have similar rules. And he was penalized for not declaring the money. Not simply for having it.
That said, this is southern Italy, so that money's gone.

What do they do when you declare it?

Police in America will take your $400k in a heartbeat which is a lot worse than just being fined.

Fact.
"Um, the dog alerted. We checked the money and found evidence of cocaine residue. You can go, but um, the money stays."

No they won't. The will detain you to see if you can prove the income. They will also report it to the IRS. But if you have any drugs at all it will be considered drug money even a joint.

Wrong
I suggest you look up "civil forfeiture"
It allows police to take your cash without being charged with a crime

Happened to a guy I know, police went in his house and seized 40,000 cash from his, no drugs found and they still took it

Right. I think that's at least the case everywhere. Whatever they call it. So it seems like a risk worth taking if you only pay a fine if caught.

They can if you can't verify it. If I have $20K cash on me, and I have proof that I withdrew it from a bank account, they cannot keep my cash. Now if I can't prove it they can

Not the same thing at all. This is a customs/immigration issue, not a criminal issue. When you travel abroad, you have standards of admission and that includes purpose of visit. What you are legally allowed to do in a foreign country is tied to that admission. That includes how much money you bring in. this is a global process. A country cannot tax or fine a person for bringing money into the country unless you are breaking the law. That's the basics.
