Daniela Klette, a former member of the Red Army Faction, has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for armed robberies committed during her three decades of hiding.

The court found her guilty of multiple counts of aggravated robbery and possession of military weapons.
- ▪Klette was convicted for robberies committed between 1999 and 2016, aimed at financing remaining fugitives.
- ▪During her arrest, police found a cache of weapons, forged documents, and €240,000 in cash in her apartment.
- ▪The court proceedings lasted 14 months and were marked by protests from Klette's supporters.
