In the case of the wanted RAF terrorist suspects Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg, the Berlin police expect longer investigations and more searches.
“Due to the conclusions resulting from the investigations by the Lower Saxony LKA, the measures in the urban area of Berlin will continue,” said Vice President of the Police Marco Langner at the Interior Committee of the Berlin House of Representatives today. For investigative and tactical reasons, he could not comment further.
Among other things, securing evidence takes time to protect traces, Langner said. Therefore, the work of investigators on the properties researched so far cannot be completed quickly. It can be assumed that those wanted acted in conspiracy to hide weapons and other things.
Search for two terrorists
Suspected RAF terrorist Daniela Klette, wanted for three decades, was arrested last week in an apartment in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The search continues for her alleged accomplices, Staub and Garweg.
According to investigators, the three belonged to the third generation of the former left-wing extremist terrorist organization, Red Army Faction, accused of numerous murders and attacks.
Over the weekend, a trailer park in Berlin-Friedrichshain was searched and in the evening an apartment was searched.
