Decades-Long Hunt Ends: Infamous RAF Fugitive Arrested in Berlin
February 27, 2024
Former Red Army Faction member Daniela Klette has been arrested in Berlin after over 30 years in hiding.
A tip and a cold case program led to Klette's capture, along with the apprehension of another individual linked to RAF fugitives.
Klette is charged with attempted murder, armed robberies from 1999 to 2016, and a 1993 prison bombing.
The RAF, a left-wing terrorist group, was notorious for attacks and kidnappings in the 70s and 80s.
Klette's arrest followed a 2023 tip and her feature on a German TV program, ending her long-standing placement on the Most Wanted list.
The arrest is a major victory for German security authorities and marks a significant event in the nation's crime history.
Staatsministerin Claudia Roth's proposed 'Rahmenkonzeption Erinnerungskultur' faces criticism for potentially downplaying the RAF's violent history.
