Overview

• The Verden court will focus Wednesday on the 28 December 2016 incident in Wolfsburg-Nordsteimke, with three witnesses scheduled and no statement expected from Daniela Klette.
• Investigators say two cars boxed in the vehicle as Ernst-Volker Staub threatened a guard, the driver reversed to escape, and the attackers made off only with the guard’s service pistol.
• Forensic traces from the scene later pointed to Klette and the still-fugitive alleged accomplices Burkhard Garweg and Staub.
• The case forms part of charges covering up to 13 robberies between 1999 and 2016, alleged proceeds exceeding €2.7 million, and an attempted murder count.
• Proceedings will also examine a 2016 Cremlingen robbery through late September, where prosecutors allege a €1.4 million haul, while Garweg and Staub remain wanted.
