German left-wing militant jailed after years in hiding

Daniela Klette, a former member of Germany's radical leftist Red Army Faction, has been sentenced to 13 years in prison over a series of armed robberies committed during 30 years on the run.

A regional court in Verden found Klette guilty of aggravated robbery, gun law violations and other crimes linked to robberies on supermarkets and cash-in-transit vans carried out alongside two other former RAF members who remain at large.

The case garnered nationwide attention when Klette was arrested at her Berlin flat in February 2024, where she had lived for years under a different name.
