Court Rejects Defense Motions in Daniela Klette Trial

Judges deny requests to dismiss or delay proceedings, affirming evidence review time and maintaining pretrial detention for the ex-RAF member.

The court dismissed defense motions to end or postpone the trial against Daniela Klette, citing sufficient time for evidence review.
Klette, a former Red Army Faction member, faces charges of attempted murder, illegal weapons possession, and 13 armed robberies from 1999 to 2016.
Defense attorneys argued the trial is unfair due to extensive security measures and late evidence provision, including 18 terabytes of data.
Prosecutors allege Klette and two accomplices, still at large, stole over €2.7 million to fund their underground lives.
Proceedings remain in Celle under strict security, with plans to relocate to Verden by mid-2025 for logistical reasons.
