The investigating judge at the Federal Court of Justice has announced an arrest warrant from the Federal Prosecutor's Office for the alleged former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette.
This was achieved years ago.
The Karlsruhe authorities said she was strongly suspected of attempted murder in two cases as well as attempted and completed explosive explosions as an accomplice.
Mere membership in the RAF has been statute-barred since 2018.
This doesn't change anything for Klette's pre-trial detention, where she has been in custody since the end of February due to an arrest warrant from the Verden district court.
Overly noted
According to the Federal Prosecutor General, over-arrest has been booked.
This is what it is called when someone is already in custody or in custody and an arrest warrant is still being issued.
However, this will only play a role if something changes in the current pre-trial detention, obtained by the Verden public prosecutor's office.
The proceedings in Lower Saxony are also directed against the wanted suspected former RAF terrorists Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg.
This concerns the suspicion of attempted murder and various serious robberies in the period from 1999 to 2016, i.e. after the RAF was disbanded.
"According to the constitutional distribution of competences between the federal and state governments, the Federal Prosecutor's Office would not be able to take over the investigation into this," explained the Federal Prosecutor's Office.
