Daniela Klette, a former member of the Baader-Meinhof gang, is set to face trial for armed robberies after being arrested in February 2024. Known for its radical anti-capitalist stance, the group was infamous for bombings and kidnappings in the 1970s and 80s. Klette was found hiding in her Berlin flat, where authorities discovered a Kalashnikov and explosives. The trial pertains to robberies conducted to support her fugitive life post-RAF disbandment and earlier charges relating to the gang's violent acts while still active.
Klette was arrested in February 2024 at her Berlin flat, where police found a Kalashnikov assault rifle, explosives and large sums of cash.
The trial starting Tuesday in the northern city of Celle relates to robberies Klette allegedly committed with two other gang members to finance their life on the run.
The Baader-Meinhof gang emerged out of the radical fringe of the 1960s student protest movement, viewing US imperialism as a dual enemy.
Klette, now 66, was part of a notorious trio who were instrumental in the gang's notorious armed robberies and violent actions.
