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.
