Imminent Charges Against Former RAF Member Daniela Klette

German authorities plan to conclude investigations and file charges by November, facing logistical challenges for a high-profile trial.

  • Daniela Klette, a former member of the Red Army Faction, was arrested in Berlin earlier this year and is currently in custody in Vechta.
  • The State Prosecutor's Office in Verden is preparing to charge Klette with attempted murder and multiple armed robberies by the end of November.
  • Authorities are facing difficulties in finding a suitable venue for the trial due to the expected large number of participants and high security needs.
  • Klette's alleged accomplices, Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg, remain at large, with significant rewards offered for information leading to their capture.
  • The trial will focus on crimes committed between 1999 and 2016, with additional charges for past RAF-related activities possibly leading to separate proceedings.
