Sepp Blatter stormed out of a FIFA news conference in Zurich as an intruder ran into the media room and flung fake money in the air which rained down on the outgoing FIFA president.
Blatter then said: “we have to clean here first,” meaning the room, not FIFA, before walking out of the press conference as he spoke for the first time since announcing his resignation as president.
It was announced earlier on Monday that the successor to Blatter, 79, will be voted in on Feb. 26, 2016, as the 17-year leader of world soccer’s governing body decided to resign last month following the hugely damaging corruption scandal which has brought the organization to its knees.
Blatter was confronted by British comedian Simon Brodkin, who plays a popular character Lee Nelson on British TV. and threw money at Blatter as he was being led away by security. Brodkin also intruded Kanye West’s stage during a concert in England earlier this summer.
Watch the incredible scenes above, as Blatter isn’t quite sure what to do as the fake notes fall on top of him from a great height.
Blatter then returned to the press conference after Brodkin was removed and had the following slightly bizarre anecdote to share with the assembled media:
“I just called my late mother and she said don’t worry, its lack of education.”
