How a German podcast found a militant who had been on the run for thirty years.

However, upon her arrest in late February, authorities discovered five weapons, including a replica rocket launcher and a Kalashnikov assault rifle, in her Berlin apartment, along with tens of thousands of euros in cash.
Klette, 65, had spent over three decades evading capture. She was wanted for offenses related to the Red Army Faction (RAF), a militant left-wing group that operated in Germany between the 1970s and the 1990s.
Initially referred to as the Baader Meinhof group, the gang used the kidnapping or killing of influential members of the business and industrial areas to further their political objectives.
Because of the RAF’s fame, a podcast crew in Berlin was attempting to locate Klette by utilizing a facial recognition program.
Just a few weeks before the arrest, the podcast aired just before Christmas. However, police contest any link. They claim that a member of the public provided them with a tip.
The assassinations of the 1980s and 1990s continue to pique the interest of filmmakers and television producers, who have been using them as inspiration for high-budget drama and documentary series.
According to Göttingen University expert on the history of political violence, Petra Terhoeven, “the RAF is deeply rooted in the collective memory, at least in western Germany.”
