A German court has sentenced Daniela Klette, a 67-year-old former member of the Red Army Faction, to 13 years in prison for her role in a series of armed robberies. Klette was arrested in 2024 after being found living under an alias in Berlin, following more than three decades of evading law enforcement. The Red Army Faction, known for its extreme-left ideology, was responsible for a wave of violence, including kidnappings and murders, particularly during the late 1970s. This group, also referred to as the Baader-Meinhof Gang, aimed to overthrow what they considered a fascist capitalist state and was linked to the deaths of approximately 34 individuals between 1970 and 1991. Although the group declared an end to its activities in 1998, some members, including Klette, remained at large. In addition to her sentencing, police are actively searching for two men believed to be her accomplices, Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg.
