After Daniela Klette's arrest, investigators are still searching the ex-RAF terrorist's apartment.
How close was the contact with your accomplices Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg?
Hanover/Berlin/Verden - After the arrest of former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette and the discovery of weapons in her apartment, investigators are continuing the search.
The apartment will be searched “very intensively and very carefully” by experts, said a spokesman for the responsible public prosecutor’s office in Verden on Friday.
“We're not going in there like an ax in the woods.” He also explained why the investigators found explosives, a rocket-propelled grenade and firearms in the apartment - after initially only talking about ammunition.
You also don't just put weapons in your bag.
Klette was arrested on Monday in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
An intensive search is underway for their accomplices, the ex-RAF terrorists Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg.
The investigators suspect that the two could also be in Berlin.
Garweg and Staub are at the top of Europe's Most Wanted list, which is used to search for serious criminals and terrorists across Europe.
Despite the weapons finds, there is “no concrete threat situation” for Berlin, as the Lower Saxony State Criminal Police Office made clear on Thursday evening.
It remained unclear whether Klette, Garweg and Staub were together until the 65-year-old was arrested.
It is likely that everyone lived their own lives and came together to commit crimes, said the spokesman.
Burdock, Garweg and Staub belong to the so-called third generation of the RAF.
During their active time, the then Deutsche Bank boss Alfred Herrhausen (1989) and Treuhand boss Detlev Karsten Rohwedder (1991) were murdered and Herrhausen's driver was seriously injured.
Among other things, Klette is said to have fired at least 250 shots at the US embassy in Bad Godesberg with RAF members in February 1991.
For decades, the left-wing extremist organization Red Army Faction (RAF) was the epitome of terror and murder in the west of still divided Germany.
The investigators are still receiving information from the public, said the spokesman.
But there are also anonymous tips or fake news.
“It all has to be filtered.” dpa
