After thirty years of manhunt: RAF terrorist Daniela Klette arrested in Berlin The Hungarian parliament says yes to Sweden’s accession to NATO – the most important points

Former German terrorist of the Red Army Faction (RAF), Daniela Klette (65), was arrested in Berlin. The German Press Agency learned this from security circles on Tuesday.

The Verden Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Lower Saxony State Criminal Investigation Department have been searching for decades for RAF retirees Burkhard Garweg (55), Ernst-Volker Staub (69) and Daniela Marie Luise Klette (65).

First details about the arrest

More details are now known about the spectacular arrest of Daniela Klette.

The arrest was made on Monday evening by Lower Saxony detectives in an apartment building in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The Berlin police supported the operation.

Ammunition was also said to have been found in Klette’s apartment, Spiegel writes. According to the report, Burdock was identified through fingerprints. She is also said to have used an Italian passport to go unnoticed.

A neighbor told Focus online that she lived in Kreuzberg under the first name Claudia. She also did not use the last name Klette. According to the man, to earn money, she offered private math tutoring. He talked to her more often and even got cookies from her at Christmas.

Money as a motive

The authorities throw dust, burdock and garbage attempted murder and a series of serious robberies between 1999 and 2016. They belonged to the so-called third generation of RAF terrorists. Ten people were murdered between 1984 and 1993 – “only one crime has been solved so far. To this day, who was involved is still unknown. The researchers don’t even know where the third generation of killers lived for more than a decade and a half,” RAF expert Butz Peters told watson.de.

The crime scene was therefore in the states of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. The Public Prosecution Service assumes that the attacks were not politically motivated. The suspects are said to have committed the crimes to obtain money.

Most recently, on February 14, the Verden Public Prosecutor’s Office requested information about former Red Army Faction (RAF) terrorists in the ZDF program “Aktenzeichen XY… unresolved”.

Dust, Burdock and Garweg are classified as part of the so-called third RAF generation. Representatives of the generation are said to have murdered the then head of the Deutsche Bank, Alfred Herrhausen, and the head of the Treuhand, Detlev Karsten Rohwedder. Rohwedder was shot dead behind his desk in his home in Düsseldorf on April 1, 1991. The RAF commando targeted him from an allotment location and more than 60 meters away. It was the RAF’s last assassination attempt. (yam/sda/dpa/with material from watson.de)
