Daniela Klette was arrested by police in an apartment in Berlin-Kreuzberg. She is said to have lived there for 20 years.
Former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette lived in her one-room apartment in Berlin-Kreuzberg without a rental contract. There was also no approved subletting, a spokesperson for Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Mitte (WBM) said on Wednesday. Therefore, the WBM did not know that the wanted terrorist lived in the building on Sebastianstrasse. The apartment tenant himself should expect consequences, the WBM spokesperson said. But he did not give details. This also applies to information about the rental contract or who paid the rent in previous years. The spokesperson referred to data protection.
Klette, 65, was arrested on February 26 at her apartment in Kreuzberg. She is said to have lived there for about 20 years. During the search of the approximately 40 square meter social apartment, the police found, among other things, a grenade and explosives. The police are still on duty there. Operational measures were also underway on Wednesday, according to the Lower Saxony State Criminal Police Department (LKA).
According to media reports, the apartment was rented from a previous resident. It is not known whether he knew Klette's identity. According to the “BZ” report, the man’s current place of residence is unknown.
Money transport robbery
Together with former RAF terrorists Burkhard Garweg (55) and Ernst-Volker Staub (69), Klette went into hiding for more than 30 years. All three belonged to the so-called third generation of the left-wing extremist terrorist organization Red Army Faction, or RAF for short. The terrorist organization carried out numerous assassination attempts until 1991. In 1998, the RAF declared itself disbanded.
Burdock, Staub and Garweg are wanted on suspicion of involvement in terrorist attacks. They also allegedly robbed cash conveyors and supermarkets in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia between 1999 and 2016 to obtain money. They are also accused of attempted murder because there was a shooting.
After Klette's arrest, the search for Garweg and Staub continues. In this context, several searches have been carried out in Berlin in recent days.
