Lucio Urtubia
Lucio Urtubia Jiménez (1931–2020[1]) was a Spanish anarchist known for his practice of expropriative anarchism through forgery. At times compared to Robin Hood,[2] Urtubia carried out bank robberies and forgeries throughout the 1960s and 1970s. In the words of Albert Boadella, "Lucio is a Quijote that did not fight against wind mills, but against a true giant".
