Daniela Klette, a former member of the Red Army Faction (RAF), has been charged by the German authorities with attempted murder, illegal possession of weapons, and multiple counts of robbery.

The charges relate to 13 robberies committed between 1999 and 2016, targeting cash transporters and supermarkets in various German states.

Klette, who was arrested in February, was found with a Kalashnikov and a grenade launcher at her residence.

Her defense has criticized the investigation, citing significant flaws in the charges.

The court in Verden will decide whether to proceed with the trial, while the search for her alleged accomplices continues.

Despite her past with the RAF, these crimes are not linked to her former terrorist activities.
