The man who was Spain's most wanted said he had never killed anybody.
Jaime Giménez Arbe, the man known as The Loner, and who was for some years Spain’s most wanted man after carrying out a series of bank robberies, has told the court in Pamplona that he ‘expropriates banks’ because of his anarchist and anti-system ideology.

He denied any part in the killing in June 2004 of two civil guards from the town of Castejón, Navarra, of which he is accused.

The prosecutor has called for a 52 year prison sentence for the man who used a full beard disguise to rob dozens of banks across the country over several years.

He told the court that he had killed nobody, and implicated another man who he said he met at the end of the 70’s in the killing. ‘I can’t apologise for something I did not do’, he told the court. The case continues.
