Event Summary

Daniela Klette, a 67-year-old former member of the German far-left militant group Red Army Faction>>>, has been sentenced to 13 years in prison by a German court. She was found guilty of aggravated robbery, gun law violations, and other crimes committed between 1999 and 2016, during which she and accomplices Members of the Red Army Faction>>> and Ernst-Volker Staub>>> stole over 2 million euros from cash-in-transit vans and supermarkets to finance their lives on the run. Klette was arrested in February 2024 in her Berlin apartment after evading authorities for more than 30 years. The trial in Verden, Germany>>>, focused on offenses committed after the Red Army Faction>>> disbanded in 1998, though Klette faces separate proceedings for politically motivated attacks in the 1990s, including an alleged plot to blow up Deutsche Bank>>> offices and an attack on the United States — United States embassy in Bonn>>>. Her defense attorney, Lukas Theune>>>, had sought an acquittal or suspended sentence.
