PHOTOS: Protester showers FIFA's Blatter with fake money

FIFA president Sepp Blatter was showered with paper money by a protester before the start of a press conference in Zurich on Monday.

The protester, who had a British accent, threw the paper bills over Blatter.

As Blatter took his seat, British comedian Simon Brodkin showered the FIFA president with the fake money bills.

"This is for North Korea 2026."

"Thank you very much. As a North Korean football ambassador, I'm delighted that I've been able to seal the deal with FIFA and North Korea for the 2026 World Cup. It makes sense for everyone," said Brodkin before security led him away.

Once security guards had removed the protester, Blatter said he was delaying the start of the press conference.

He returned around 10 minutes later to address the media.
