A German court sentenced Daniela Klette, 67, a former member of the Red Army Faction (RAF), to 13 years in prison for a series of armed robberies carried out between 1999 and 2016. Klette was apprehended in 2024 after more than three decades in hiding, when an investigative journalist identified her living under an assumed name in Berlin using facial‑recognition software. Prosecutors said she belonged to the RAF’s “third generation,” a left‑wing militant group that, during its peak in the 1970s and early 1980s, carried out kidnappings, murders and other violent actions, ultimately killing about 34 people before declaring an end to its urban‑guerrilla campaign in 1998. While Klette has now been convicted, police continue to search for two other suspected former RAF members, Ernst‑Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg, believed to have been her accomplices.
