German authorities and courts sentence Daniela Klette, 67, to 13 years in prison for her involvement in a series of armed robberies committed while she was living as a fugitive from the left-wing Red Army Faction (RAF). Multiple outlets report that the regional court finds Klette guilty for offenses intended to finance her life on the run. The reports describe Klette as one of the last remaining RAF members, with police identifying her as a former member of the extreme-left group. She is also reported to face additional, more serious charges beyond the robbery case, according to German reporting cited by outlets including Deutsche Welle. Other reporting adds that prosecutors include an attempted kidnapping among the allegations for which she is sentenced. The New York Times frames the case in the context of the RAF’s earlier attacks on American and “capitalist” targets until the 1990s, noting that the robberies for which she is convicted occurred later as part of efforts to evade capture. Klette was arrested in 2024 after more than three decades in hiding.
