Former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette was arrested on Monday. But the LKA has been looking for her for a long time. A tip from the public helped.
The State Criminal Police Office in Lower Saxony (LKA) has been searching for former RAF terrorists Daniela Klette, Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg since 2015.
The LKA continues to use target investigators from the LKA Lower Saxony in the search for the suspected robbers Staub and Garweg, a spokesman for the authority explained on Friday. The spokesman did not answer how the investigators worked and whether they used special tools “for tactical reasons”.
Criminal police received “tips from the public”
After decades of searching, the criminal police from Lower Saxony said they received a “tip from the public” about Klette (65) in November, searched for her, observed her and finally caught her on Monday in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
Klette, Staub (69) and Garweg (55) 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. In 1998 it declared itself dissolved.
