Trial Begins for Former RAF Member Daniela Klette Over Armed Robberies and Attempted Murder

Klette, arrested in 2024 after decades in hiding, faces charges linked to violent heists and weapons violations, with DNA evidence tying her to multiple crimes.

• The trial, held in Verden under heightened security, focuses on charges of attempted murder, armed robbery, and weapons violations between 1999 and 2016.
• Daniela Klette, a former member of the RAF's third generation, allegedly participated in crimes that funded her life in hiding, stealing over 2.7 million euros.
• DNA evidence links Klette to violent robberies, including a 2015 attempted heist in Stuhr and a 2016 robbery in Cremlingen involving firearms and a rocket launcher.
• Klette, arrested in Berlin in 2024, lived under false identities for years, concealing weapons in her apartment while evading authorities.
• The current trial does not address her alleged involvement in earlier RAF terrorist attacks, which will be subject to separate legal proceedings.
