A former "RAF" terrorist, 65-year-old Daniela Klette, was arrested in Berlin for attempted murder and a series of robberies between 1999 and 2016. This was reported by the Dpa agency, citing security sources.
The woman was wanted together with two other terrorists from the left-wing group "Rote Armee Fraktion" (RAF), Burkhard Garweg, aged 55 and Ernst-Volker Staub (69).
However, the Prosecutor's Office hypothesizes that the robberies did not have a political motive but were used by the three only to obtain money.
Staub, Klette and Garweg are classified as belonging to the so-called "third generation" of the RAF,
the one that killed the then head of the Deutsche Bank, Alfred Herrhausen, and Detlev Karsten Rohwedder, the head of the Treuhand, the dissolved body that was in charge of the privatizations in the former GDR.
(Daniela) Klette was identified "thanks to fingerprints and she appears to have used an Italian passport", Spiegel writes on his website without providing other details in this regard.
The woman was "arrested on Monday evening in an apartment building in Kreuzberg" and "ammunition was found in the apartment".
