Some Spanish news reports who have labelled him the “Robin Hood of Villarramiel” said:

“We’re all bewildered and expectant as we don’t know where this money comes from or who the benefactor is,” said Simon.

“We don’t know what the intention is.”

Some of those who received the money have gone to the police or the bank to report it, in order to check if the banknotes are real while no police investigation has commenced.
