What a world where you can be arrested for such a thing. Death to amerikkka.
Free my dawg. Literally didn't do anything wrong.
in Spain they developed a coin that can only be used to scam people... if you help people with it they arrest you.
There is no extradition. The USA's accusation, aside from being false, does not exist in Spain (Orders from ex-president Trump). My thanks for all your messages and to the police for their good treatment and personal support.

Leaving my prison cell and finding yourself with this [photo of the People's Party's HQ, main right-wing party in Spain]. I'm feeling like going to ask Mariano [Rajoy, former Spanish president] for an autograph.

He's been freed already: it's not the first time that the US orders Spain to extradite him and nothing happens. Cao de Benós is certainly a very curious and interesting figure: a Spaniard with noble origins ending up becoming the sole foreign representative of the DPRK. And if that wasnn't enough, he also has a Twitch channel and if I recall correctly he plays RUST sometimes.
I’m actually an American that lives in Spain. He is not interesting media-wise. Funny how he’s been arrested other times. With the same results. In Spain he isn’t a headliner. Not a surprise because he doesn’t speak to the Spanish press. You get headlines and attention in Spain if you actually say something to them. Or maybe journalists here are afraid of him?
