Overview

• The trial in Celle has entered a critical phase, with the first eyewitness testimony presented regarding the violent 2015 money transporter robbery in Stuhr, near Bremen.
• The driver of the money transporter recounted his experience of being shot at and threatened by three masked assailants, including Klette, and described the lasting psychological trauma he has endured.
• Prosecutors have linked DNA evidence from the crime scene to Klette and her alleged accomplices, Burkhard Garweg and Ernst-Volker Staub, strengthening the case for attempted murder and armed robbery charges.
• The defense is seeking to suspend proceedings, arguing for further investigation into Klette’s alleged involvement in earlier RAF-linked attacks from the 1990s.
• The case underscores the lingering impact of RAF-related crimes in Germany and the challenges of addressing decades-old acts of terrorism through modern judicial processes.
