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 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 newspapers 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.
