Process against Daniela Klette: RAF terrorist in court in Verden!

Verden, Deutschland - The negotiation against the former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette continues at the Verden district court. The hearing, which will be resumed after almost two weeks of break, previously took place in the state protection hall of the Celle Higher Regional Court, which was necessary due to the high safety precautions. CLAPTER, which was 66 years old at the time of her arrest, is charged for a series of robberies between 1999 and 2016 in Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein. Among other things, it is on trial for attempted murder of greed and heavy robbery. The public prosecutor accuses her of performing a total of 13 raids in collaboration with former RAF members, Ernst-Volker Staub (70) and Burkhard Garweg (56), which earned a prey of 2.7 million euros.

burdock was arrested on February 26, 2024 in her Berlin-Kreuzberger Domizil, where she lived under the wrong name. However, the alleged accomplices are still fleeting. Processes such as against burdocks are rare in the Federal Republic of Germany because it affects the processing of RAF history, which committed numerous acts of violence between 1968 and 1998. Daniela Klette is identified as a member of the third generation of the RAF, which formed after the end of a large part of the activities of its previous organizations.

safety precautions and process details

During the trial, judicial officers and police officers sit with machine guns in front of the courthouse, although the court decided that no further legal champions have to be right behind burdock. This shows the remarkable safety precautions that were taken due to the danger of the accused. CLAPTER is also placed behind a glass wall to minimize potential risks. Your defense calls for a fair procedure and criticizes surveillance by justice.

The Federal Prosecutor's Office is not only charges for the robberies, but also on suspicion of participation in terrorist attacks in the 1990s. These circumstances could lead to another court trial. In the raids, the trio had used weapons, including a deceptively real -looking armored fist and electric shockers, and thus accepted to hurt or kill people.

raf and your heir

The Red Army Group (RAF) has its roots in the student movement of the 1960s in Germany and was shaped by personalities such as Andreas Baader and Gudrun Ensslin who supported violence in the fight against the state. The RAF's first generation, which was responsible for numerous bank robberies and terrorist attacks, is held responsible for a large part of the uncertainties in Germany during its activity period from 1968 to 1998. Clette’s entanglement into this violent history raises questions about the remaining shallows of the German past and illuminates the continued influence of the RAF heir, which is also expressed in the actions of burdock.

On Wednesday, two civil servants should say about burdocks and their behavior during the raids. The Verden district court will continue to investigate the allegations against the accused.

The negotiation against Daniela Klette is not only an important process in the processing of violent pastes, but also shows how deep the effects of extremist ideologies are anchored in German society. This will remain with great relevance for the coming weeks of the process dates.
