Ex-RAF Member Daniela Klette Charged with 13 Robberies

Daniela Klette faces serious charges, including attempted murder and illegal weapons possession, in connection with a series of robberies spanning nearly two decades.

  • The charges against Daniela Klette include attempted murder, illegal weapons possession, and multiple counts of robbery, all linked to 13 incidents from 1999 to 2016.
  • Klette, formerly of the Red Army Faction (RAF), was apprehended in Berlin after years of evading authorities; she is currently held in Vechta prison.
  • The defense criticizes the prosecution, claiming the charges are flawed and politically motivated, particularly contesting the attempted murder allegations.
  • Prosecutors allege Klette, along with Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg, committed the robberies to fund their underground lifestyle, amassing over €2.7 million.
  • The Landgericht Verden is set to decide on the case's progression, with logistical challenges anticipated due to the expected number of participants in the trial.
