Spanish thief shaw himself as Rohin 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.

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 Curron Jimenez, a Spanish 1970s television bandit in the style of Robin Hood.
The loner was arrested in Portugal, armed with a submachine gun in preparation for another bank robbery
