Major operation in Wuppertal: Arrested person not an ex-RAF terrorist. Over 160 tips received about the three former members of the Red Army Faction (RAF), as the Verden public prosecutor announced on Thursday.

The accused Ernst-Volker Staub, Daniela Klette and Burkhard Garweg are accused of attempted murder in connection with a series of serious robberies. DNA evidence led investigators to the conclusion that the trio was responsible for robberies of cash transport and supermarkets. In total, the RAF murdered more than 30 people and more than 200 were injured.
