Financial police confirmed a report by the Italian news agency ANSA that half of the cash was impounded under Italian anti-money laundering codes. In such cases, the balance is returned minus any fine set by magistrates. Travelers within the European Union are required to declare 10,000 euros ($11,000) or more in cash. h/t breitbart
