Juan Bautista Bairoletto

Argentine bandit

Juan Bautista Bairoletto or J.B.Vairoletto (November 11, 1894 – September 14, 1941), was an Argentine outlaw born in Santa Fe province, the son of Italian immigrants.

Bailoretto fled from justice after killing a sheriff because of "lover matters" with a prostitute in Castex, a little town in La Pampa Province.

This bandit was called the "Argentine Robin Hood" or El Robin Hood criollo ("The Creole Robin Hood") and became a myth in Argentina after his death.

He was shot and killed on September 14, 1941 amid a police ambush at his home in General Alvear, Mendoza, where he had settled some years before.
