2. Short Biography
When Pedro Alonso realized that his own illness was shortening
his life, he devised a plan to pass on both his knowledge and
life’s work. Known for robbing only one piece of jewellery at a
time, never killing or injuring anyone in any way, Pedro Alonso
was a mastermind jewel thief who meticulously planned every
step of each heist. He is considered by many as one of the
greatest jewel thieves in history; some would even say he is
fictionalized as an inspiration for James Bond! Before passing
away, Pedro left his son Andres de Fonollosa with instructions
on how to steal each piece so that no one could ever figure out
why they were stolen.
Who is Andres de Fonollosa?
Andres De Fonollosa is not just one of Mexico’s most notorious
jewel thieves, he’s also a really fun character to think about.
Pedro Alonso as Andres in Money Heist is kind and helpful, but
he’s mostly known for his cleverness. This real-life jewel thief
was a legend who had pulled off countless robberies before one
in Berlin would go so wrong, it would end up killing him. This
man has been called one of Mexico’s greatest outlaws and
continues to be talked about today even though he died back in
1871. His legacy lives on through Pedro Alonso as Andres de
Fonollosa (Berlin).
Pedro Alonso Played Andres de Fonollosa Aka 'Berlin'
Andres de Fonollosa was a jewel thief that only stole gems,
diamonds, and other precious stones. He never stole any of
those materials in small quantities. This made him stand out

3. among other thieves. His victims included American billionaires
and industrialists who lived in London's Knightsbridge
neighborhood where he would take their jewels during or after
tea-time. On one occasion he attended a party with his victim's
family to show off his manners; however on another occasion he
had tea with his victim before stealing her jewels from under her
very nose without getting caught by anyone at all.
Character Analysis
Pedro Alonso’s character in Money Heist was highly inspired by
Leonardo DiCaprio’s portrayal of Andy Dalton in The Great
Gatsby. Pedro was a man with a clean slate who took advantage
of his status as an outsider to steal millions while robbing from
banks and other places he worked for. However, people often
wondered how Pedro could have committed so many crimes in
such little time. Even more curious was how Pedro managed to
pull off his biggest heist under his boss's nose, without anyone
realizing it. Pedro had several characteristics that made him
unique and fit perfectly into what would ultimately become a
series-ending role.
Who is the master mind behind all of those heists?
In Money Heist's second season, The Professor wasn't able to
orchestrate all those impossible heists. Instead, Pedro Alonso
(José Ángel Egido) filled in for him during that time. And fans will
be happy to know that Pedro is back for Season 3! Before he
returned, however, here are some things you should know about
Andres de Fonollosa (aka Pedro).

4. How does he do it?
As money from all around Spain flowed in, Pedro Alonso did
what he does best – create a plan and get it done. An expert at
breaking into highly secured places with relative ease, De
Fonollosa is known for leading big operations that involve
robbery and fraud. He even has an alias called Malthael.
However, don’t let his persona fool you – in order to protect
himself and his family, he’s willing to do anything, up to killing his
brother or abandoning him if need be. You can easily see that
though Pedro may be ruthless in his schemes – he wouldn’t hurt
a fly (unless it was necessary). All in all, Pedro is simply
amazing! And I hope we get to see more of him in season 4!
Is there any personal background info?
In Money Heist, Pedro Alonso's character Andres De Fonollosa
has a terminal illness, which is why he needs to commit crimes
while he still can. Real life Pedro Alonso also had a health issue
– a back injury from his days as an athlete. But then he
recovered completely thanks to an operation and began
practicing sports again. So in reality, Pedro has never suffered
from any health problems or diseases! Also it’s worth noting that
at first his role in Money Heist was supposed to be only recurring
(in three episodes), but later creators decided to bring him back
for all subsequent seasons.
Has he had any previous crimes?
It is rumored that Andres has been a jewel thief since he was in
his early 20's and worked with a criminal named Enrique Torres,
who taught him all he knows. Pedro Alonso as Andres seems

5. very good at what he does because there isn't any evidence that
can link him to his previous crimes. He wears masks to hide his
identity so police can't track him down, but that also makes it
hard for them to find evidence against him too. It is said that he
never talks about his past crimes and acts like they didn't
happen. Also, they say it took Pedro several times before getting
hired by Escobar Films Inc. But no one knows why it took
multiple interviews for Escobar Films Inc to hire Pedro Alonso as
Andres De Fonollosa on Money Heist
How does he plan?
Spanish TV show Money Heist is set in motion when a team of
thieves led by Sire (Edgar Ramirez) and his accomplice, Andres
de Fonollosa (Jordi Molla), break into Spain's Royal Mint to steal
€2.4 billion. This in-depth look at his process reveals how he
uses fashion and accessories to help him plan what is said to be
one of most dangerous heists in history. Knowing that cop
uniforms could draw attention, for example, he makes sure each
member has their own unique jacket—even if it means buying six
different ones for five people. To find out more about exactly how
De Fonollosa plans to pull off such a spectacular theft, keep
