The 36 year old phoned the police to say he did not want to commit a crime to be arrested.

Local Police in Málaga received an unusual phone call on New Year’s Day.

‘Good evening, I am here in Spain illegally and want to return to my country, although to do so I have to carry out a serious crime’.

The call was made from a phone box in Málaga by a 32 year old Brazilian who had decided to take advantage of the Foreigners’ Law to be expelled back home. Diario Sur reports that he waited by the phone box in the La Luz area of the city until the police came to arrest him.
