Today in Focus · The jailing of Germany’s most wanted woman · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

So this kind of solidarity held to the very end.

So membership of a terrorist organisation in Germany has a statute of limitations of 20 years.

And because that time had ran out by the time she was captured, she was not charged with that.

That has been slightly controversial among particularly sort of conservative and more right-leaning media outlets.

And then she's also facing charges.

She could probably go on trial as early as later this year.

for a series of attacks in the 1990s.

This was while the RAF was still active.

And there were attacks against a prison, against a bank, and also they apparently strafed the U.S., then U.S.

Embassy in Bonn with automatic gunfire.

And so she could still have to answer to those charges as well, probably before a court in Frankfurt.

Well, it was interesting, you know, she's, Daniela Cleta is a quite, you know, she's a slight figure.

She's now got silver hair of, you know, a woman of 67.

And yet she cuts such a defiant figure in the dock in this high security courtroom.

And so she was railing even at the end against capitalism and the patriarchy and that she was going to stay true to the cause of fighting both.

both outside the court and then inside the courtroom, supporters stayed by her side.

You know, a few dozen people, but they were quite militant and vocal.

And then when it came to her conviction, they were shouting and booing at the judges, you know, and pronouncing their solidarity with her.

So, you know, she does still inspire within, you know, maybe small but very vocal scene, a lot of allegiance and, you know, perhaps a romantization of the life that she has led.

Now, the prosecution, of course, said otherwise.
