Daniela Klette (66) is charged with attempted murder, theft and breaches of the war weapons control Act
Federal police officers escort Daniela Klette , an alleged former member of far-left group RAF to a helicopter after a court hearing. Photograph: Ronald Wittek/EPAClaudia was not much of a dancer, by all accounts, but she loved Brazilian music and was a regular at the samba class in Berlin’s alternative Kreuzberg district.
In total the RAF killed 34 people but no one knows for sure when Klette joined: before or after the RAF ringleaders had killed themselves in prison in 1977. They rang the doorbell and the woman who answered produced a passport with the identity “Claudia Bernardi”. “Claudia” was allowed a moment to use the bathroom. There she is believed to have written a warning text message to a co-conspirator, Burkhard Garweg, in effect saying: “they have me”.
“I don’t know Daniela Klette, I know Claudia, she was like a sister to me,” said Ermeson Gomes da Silva, a Brazilian man who met Klette at a Berlin samba class in 2001. They became friends and often sat in her kitchen smoking, drinking and laughing. Police who searched Klette’s Berlin apartment found quite a haul: an eclectic collection of weapons, wigs, stick-on beards and balaclavas as well as ID cards and driver’s licences in 17 identities, €239,000 in cash and 1.2kg of gold.
