Overview
- Federal prosecutors filed an indictment Thursday that accuses Klette of 23 counts of attempted murder tied to three RAF attacks in the early 1990s.
- The charges cover a failed car bomb at a Deutsche Bank site in Eschborn in 1990, a 1991 machine‑gun attack on the U.S. Embassy in Bonn with about 250 shots fired, and the 1993 bombing of a new prison in Weiterstadt.
- Investigators cite hair and DNA said to match Klette at all three sites, while her lawyers argue the forensics mostly fell short and say the case leans on a witness who has admitted lying in the past.
- If the court accepts the indictment, the terrorism case is slated for the Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt.
- Klette was arrested in Berlin in February 2024 after decades underground and is already on trial in Verden over alleged robberies, while two alleged accomplices, Burkhard Garweg and Ernst‑Volker Staub, remain at large.
