Daniela Klette
former German RAF militant
Daniela Marie Luise Klette (born 5 November 1958) is a German left-wing militant who is regarded as a former member of the Red Army Faction's third generation. After going underground in the 1990s, she lived for decades in Berlin under the pseudonym Claudia Ivone. After the RAF disbanded in 1998, she was arrested in 2024 as one of the last three members still on the run. From March 2025, she stood trial before the major criminal chamber of the Verden Regional Court (Landgericht) on charges of attempted murder, unlawful possession of weapons, and both attempted and completed aggravated robbery in connection with 13 robberies. On 27 May 2026, she was sentenced to 13 years in prison, but acquitted of the attempted‑murder charge due to withdrawal from the attempt. She was not prosecuted for earlier terrorist offences because the statute of limitations had expired.

Why this record matters
The phrase “former German RAF militant” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q91066. VIAF identifies the subject as 6046170939483615660004. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1958, 1998, 2024 and 2025.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
