Recently in Berlin, a former Red Army Faction (RAF) member, Daniela Klette, was arrested after being on the run for over 30 years. Klette was found with weapons and cash in her flat, linked to crimes connected to the leftist militant group RAF. The RAF’s history continues to be a subject of interest in Germany, inspiring films and television series. Notably, a new drama about Alfred Herrhausen, the head of Deutsche Bank, who was assassinated in 1989, will be airing soon.
The discussion around RAF crimes and victims is ongoing, with a Netflix series examining the assassination of Detlev Rohwedder, among others. Petra Terhoeven, an expert, emphasizes the importance of not trivializing RAF crimes and focusing on victims. The uncertainty surrounding RAF attacks and unsolved murders from the past serve as a point of fascination for many.
Intriguingly, a podcast company in Berlin attempted to locate Klette before her arrest using AI facial recognition. Despite doubts about Klette’s willingness to cooperate, the investigation into her involvement in past crimes is ongoing.
