Overview

  • Burkhard Garweg, a fugitive former member of the Red Army Faction (RAF), has reportedly sent a letter from hiding, published by the left-wing newspaper 'nd.'
  • In the letter, Garweg describes the RAF's history as one of 'strategic and tactical errors' and discusses his personal perspectives on the group's past.
  • The letter also advocates for the release of Daniela Klette, a former RAF member arrested in Berlin in February 2024 and facing trial for 13 alleged armed robberies.
  • Authorities have not yet verified the authenticity of the letter, and the original document has not been obtained by law enforcement.
  • Garweg, along with Klette and Ernst-Volker Staub, is accused of committing non-terrorist robberies between 1999 and 2016 to fund their lives in hiding.
