Only days after being stopped in Sweden on suspicion of drug use allegations, rap star Snoop Dogg was forced to turn over more than $200,000 to Italian officials after being stopped at the Lamezia Terme airport carrying at least $422,000 in cash.

According to the New York Daily News, the money was well above the legal limit allowed to be transported across EU borders unclaimed. All travelers within the European Union are required to declare 10,000 euros ($11,000) or more in cash.

The seizure was made by Italian financial police, who justified taking possession of half the money the rap star was carrying under Italian anti-money laundering laws. In most cases, the money is ultimately returned minus any fine set forth by magistrates.

Snoop Dogg performed in Calabria Friday night, and is scheduled to play at the Kendal Calling Festival in England on Sunday.

The incident marks the second time in less than a week that Snoop has been briefly detained by authorities abroad. Following his ordeal in Sweden, the rapper immediately complained he had been racially profiled.

"We getting sweated by the police right now," he said in one of several videos shot during the arrest and posted to his Instagram account. Snoop then tilted the camera in the direction of one of the officers and said, "This muthaf*cker right here sweating me."

Ultimately, the "Gin and Juice" rapper was questioned and tested for suspected drug use north of the capital. Authorities said test results would not be available for some time.

It's unknown if the 43-year-old rapper born Calvin Broadus Jr. planned to continue of his European tour and perform at the Kendal Calling Festival.
