Comedian Simon Brodkin has revealed the money he
showered over FIFA President Sepp Blatter was $600 of his
own money and that he received all of it back from the
police. Brodkin, best known for his comedy alter egos Lee
Nelson and Jason Bent, evaded security to storm a press
conference at FIFA headquarters in Zurich on Monday and
threw the dollar bills at Blatter.
He was arrested and charged with trespassing by the Swiss
authorities on Tuesday before being released to return to
the UK.
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Brodkin said the
money, supposedly to secure the World Cup for North Korea
in 2026, was from his own bank account. He said: 'If you're
going to do it, you do it properly. The FIFA guys couldn't
believe it. In the end it cost me nothing because they gave it
all back. I can assure you there might be corruption in FIFA,
but the Swiss police are corruption-free. They gave back
every penny. 'Here you go, sir.''
Brodkin must now wait and see whether the Swiss
prosecutor feels a trial is necessary.
He added: 'It is, unfortunately, serious. Am I worried? I know
I've been charged and I don't know if I can say too much. I
can say that it would be the greatest irony of all if I was the
first person to go to prison over events in FIFA HQ.'
The stunt was a satirical swipe at the endemic corruption at
the heart of FIFA that is the subject of an ongoing
investigation by the FBI.
Brodkin calmly walked up to Blatter's position as he
prepared to start a press conference and placed a wad of US
dollars on the table, saying: 'This is for North Korea 2026.'
He then turned to address the press while Blatter, who later
announced he would not stand for another term as FIFA
President in forthcoming elections having resigned earlier
this year, waved urgently at security guards to take him
away.
Before he could be removed, Brodkin threw a huge bundle
of notes into the air, which rained down on Blatter.
Explaining the reasons behind his prank, Brodkin said: 'I
guess that I've looked at people in the public eye who
maybe could do with being brought down to earth a little bit.
I think FIFA and Sepp Blatter are probably in that mix. Even
the FIFA security you could sense were smiling and joking
about it. Sepp, not so sure. After arresting me and me being
in a cell for several hours, the Swiss police showed me that
the video had made it on to the website of a big national
paper. There was a warmth there.'
However, Brodkin was still charged with trespass and may
have to return to Switzerland for a trial.
A police spokesman said: 'He will be charged for trespassing
because he wasn't allowed to enter the building. If there will
be a trial it is still to be decided by the prosecutor.
Trespassing in Switzerland is just prosecuted by request like
other minor crimes.'

This is an affront on the judiciary, Buhari is biting more than he can chew because state sponsored intimidation of PDP government in Rivers state will never be tolerated.

wake up from your slumber

APC is falling by d day. Wike is smarter here cos it was d courts (a Federal one for that matter) that dissolved d l.g chairmen. Dat he even gave a 6mnth period during which a proper l.g election must be done makes him a better democrat than a lot of governors in d country (even APC controlled states esp Rocha's) who will use caretaker chairmen 'ad infinitum'. Amaechi tot Wike wud v used his executive powers in connivance with d state assembly to sack them but Wike waited for d courts. Its only a matter of time d Police will come out to deny this n claim they were there to forestall breakdown of law n order. Honestly I am one of those DAT this Wike's leadership charisma is coming to as a surprise cos they made him appear as a tout n highly occultic down here. But really, this guy will have a lot to celebrate within first 100days n might be d NXT Akpabio in terms of devptal strides. Another reason for me to think this Wike dude was truly d brain behind Amaechi first term success as CoS cos Amaechi really did well during his first 4years.

how are they failing? you're a hypocrite. When GEJ was dealing with Ameachi you didn't see anything wrong with it right. If you're not happy with the latest development get on the sidewalk.

He was caught cucumbating with his cucumber in his hand lawwwwwwd.
