After 30 years in hiding, the police arrested former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette. Will countless murders from the 80s and 90s finally be solved? How do you live illegally underground? Was the manhunt botched? Are there links between the Red Army Faction and Austria? Krone+ interviewed a terrorism expert.

The arrest of former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette at the end of February sent shockwaves through Germany and Austria. The now 65-year-old, who lived in Berlin under a false name, is accused of two counts of attempted murder and an explosives attack on a prison near Darmstadt in March 1993. Together with her colleagues from the third generation of the Red Army Faction, Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg, Klette hid underground for more than 30 years. Weapons, ammunition, cash and gold bars were found in their apartment. While Staub and Garweg are still being searched for, the public is wondering: What secrets has Klette been hiding for years? Which murders can now finally be solved? What happens now?
