Spanish Thief Saw Himself as Robin Hood-like Bandit

Madrid (Reuters) – Spain’s most wanted thief, “The Loner,” saw himself as a Robin
Hood – style figure and said he robbed banks only because they stole money from
the public, his lawyer said Thursday.

Accused of killing three policemen and holding up more than 30 banks, Jaime
Jimenez Arbe was planning to move on to insurance companies when he was
arrested last month, Spanish media reported, citing lawyer Jose Mariano Trillo-
Figueroa.

“I am not a killer and if I was obliged to shoot at officers of the law, it was always
against my will and in order to avoid being arrested,” Jimenez said in a letter
reproduced on the websites of newspaper El Pais and El Mundo. Trillo-Figueroa
said Jimenez, who robbed the banks disguised in a false beard and a wig, thinks of
himself as Curro Jimenez, a Spanish 1970s television bandit in the style of Robin
Hood.
