The dumpster on General Shelly Street and detail of the money found inside./ J. SanzThe witnesses were not wrong.The neighbor of Delicias who last Monday threw, and literally, 46,645 euros in bills into a paper recycling container on General Shelly Street suffers from an obvious psychiatric problem.The man now acknowledges that the money was his and that he knowingly threw it away.And he does it without leaving a coherent speech, in a certain way, but difficult to understand."Money is a dead letter and I threw it away because I don't need it and I want to live free," said the protagonist of a story that continues to be sad and that, according to many of his neighbors, cries out for "a Social intervention".The 65-year-old man, who has lived alone for more than ten years in a flat near the place where the money was found, is known for having previously starred in numerous striking episodes.«He is a person who is not well and who sometimes takes to going out naked on the street or painting his own house with graffiti, but what happened on Monday has surprised us all, since he is a man who, at most, can collect a pension, but nothing more », they point out.On Monday he was not at home when the police recovered the money – the agents initially believed that the bills were fake – an amount that is now in judicial custody to determine his future.This Wednesday he was.And when asked about what happened, he answered without problems that the 46,645 euros were his.Why did he have so much money at home?Well, within his discourse, he affirms that he had it because "I am in this world."And he threw it away, he adds, because he "didn't want it.""Money is dead paper, I want to live for free and that money now belongs to no one," he says before emphasizing that he has no intention of getting it back: "No, not at all, I don't want it."He had it, he adds in a somewhat worrying speech, because "in this material world it was necessary" to later add that "my desire is to live in peace with God and with nature."The neighbors who know him emphasize that he is a person who "needs to follow up and take the treatment that he has to take."They clarify that he barely interacts with the rest of the residents and note that he has never been involved in violent episodes beyond certain 'eccentricities'.The last one was to throw 969 banknotes, mostly 50 euros, into a recycling container."It's just paper that is useless," he reiterates.As chance would have it, a woman witnessed the scene around nine o'clock in the morning, when she saw the man throw handfuls of bills into the container.As luck would have it, it was empty and the local police officers who came to the scene were able to recover it minutes later.They were 46,645 euros.The money is now deposited under judicial custody and it will be the court that determines its origin and its possible return.
