Modern day Robin Hood

Thief distributes money among poor!

An employee of a security company who made off with nearly $500,000 before turning himself in to the Paraguayan police 30 hours later with just $200 in his pocket said he had distributed the cash among the poor.

“I robbed the thief,” Carlos Gonzalez said after surrendering at a police station in the Asunciion

Police had been searching for the suspect since Tuesday afternoon when he took advantage of the momentary absence of his co-workers to drive away with the armoured money truck.

He said he passed out wads of 5, 10 and 15 million guaranies and kept the equivalent of $200 for himself.

But the company said just over $1.1 million was found in the abandoned van and the company’s records show that the “missing amount undoubtedly comes to at least” $470,000.

In an interview from jail with Radio Ñanduti, Gonzalez said the company does not pay its workers “their fair share” and makes them work more than 12 hours a day for a monthly salary of $630.

“They rob us,” he said.

Prosegur employs some 1,100 people and posted nearly $40 million in revenue in 2011, tops in its sector in Paraguay.
