A convicted fraudster has asked to be sent to prison so he can’t commit any more crime, only to be told to wait his turn.
The man, named as Juan, has court cases pending in Alicante, Denía, Gandia and others.
Among his activities, selling non existent dogs over the internet and not returning a hire car.
He says his bad habits started three years ago when he lost a son in a traffic accident and that he has been carrying out frauds across the country since then.
He told 20minutos that it’s hard to find work for a man in his 50’s, but as his mother is getting older he wants to do his time so he can look after her on his release.
