Daniela Klette’s Final Plea to Take Place on May 12; Verdict Expected on May 27

On May 12, 2026, anti-imperialist revolutionary Daniela Klette is scheduled to present her final plea before the Regional Court of Verden, where her trial is currently unfolding in a high-security courtroom. Arrested in Berlin in February 2024 after more than 30 years in hiding—and suspected of belonging to the Red Army Faction (RAF)—she stands accused of a series of robberies committed between 1999 and 2016, carried out to finance her life underground following the dissolution of the Red Army Faction (RAF). The prosecution has requested a fifteen-year prison sentence, characterizing her as a participant in attacks on armored vehicles and commercial establishments that resulted in the theft of several million euros. The trial, which opened in 2025, is set to conclude on May 27, 2026, with a verdict expected after 68 days of hearings; meanwhile, separate proceedings are scheduled for the autumn before the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt, specifically concerning two operations carried out by the RAF in the early 1990s.
