RAF – Process against Daniela Klette: On the hunt

It applies, so Dr. Annette Marquardt in 2015, when presenting a ministerial gratitude certificate from the then chief prosecutor Gresel-Appelbaum, kindly considered as “a great luck for the public prosecutor’s office in Verden”. She is also considered a cold case investigator.

Today she is sitting with the deputy chief prosecutor Dr. Katharina Sprave in the High Security Court of the Higher Regional Court in Celle as an accuser against Daniela Klette. It is considered spirited and reports from reports: If she storms into a apartment to be searched as part of the search for Burkhard Garweg, it sometimes breaks out of it at the front door threshold: “Where is he?”

Also, she sometimes stretches quickly and jerkily during witness surveys, crossing every distance, her head close to that of the delinquent and drills one “You know more!” Almost physically into it. The wall of the counterpart should give way to make it defenseless.

In the indictment representation, too, it seems to be the more active part of Daniela Klette. In any case, she reads of 13 of 13 crime accusations presented with a monotonous voice, standing for granted, because the state is in the indictment, while the lawyers are in their counter -applications. Black hair, black valley, in the bad light of the windowless hall, in which almost every face becomes gray, you could think of a figure from any film noir, a certain hardness and disillusionment, because, as you know, the bad does never go out.

But even if you somehow think of a raven when you stand there and see them with a light voice as the pecking on the hard shell of a nut that is still to be cracked, the need for a small optical contra: When it goes through the hall on the day of the process opening, you can see them in red shoes. It is also decorated on the second day of the trial. Black-red, what an outfit!

Does she know that she is running around in the favorite design of the anarchists? Power and anarchy are not so far apart if you think of that sentence of the Duke of Blangis from Pasolini’s »Salò« with which the one claims that they are the real anarchists, »of course only when power in the state belongs to us. In fact, power enables the anarchy. Ms. Dr. Marquardt knows the state power on her side, she expresses herself through her.

In the RAF processes, the political judiciary used to have the power of free hand. Whether lawyers’ excludes, listening to the defense, secret preliminary agreements with the revision instances, notorious rejecting all contexts of defense – in the enemy relationship, led by the Federal Prosecutor’s office, could be uninhibited. A touch of anarchy also pervades the indictment from Verden, as lawyer Ulrich von Klinggräff meticulously, sometimes almost too detailed, in his application for hiring.

It is mixed as it fits. While Dr. Marquardt explains that it is only about criminal offenses in the area of ​​gel screwing, she tries to fill the gaps with attitudes wherever she lacks the factual evidence. The story follows: This is how it was common with the RAF. Her entire indictment is crossed by references to an alleged RAF mentality, which was already fictional at the time, in which everyone ruthlessly uses the weapon and walking through the area with a constant willingness to kill. This has to position it to a defendant who, as you know, have been dissolved peacefully despite an apartment with some weapons.

It is apparently about attaching an intention to murder the accused Daniela Klette and threatening her with life imprisonment. On the second day of the trial, Dr. Marquardt against the corresponding defense allegations by offering the accused to speak to her so that she can also take up relieving evidence. As if there was no right to not be silent and not making any statements to the public prosecutor. Behind the threat of “intention to kill” is undoubtedly attempted to press, to impose the accused statements, to impose a willingness to cooperate, at the end of which there is a exchange business: statement against punishment. The game “The price is hot” follows.

How far this can go has been seen, among other things, at the former RAF members who were accommodated in the GDR. No matter which RAF activities they were involved, after they had all strained each other, they were “outside” again after a manageable time, at least even in open execution. The self of the state is always questionable, especially in crisis times. Especially in the case of a 30-year unsuccessful search. This self, which is the self of the political elites, the institutions, but also a large part of the state -hearing population, always needs the betrayal of others as a political viagra, which is always the betrayal of itself. This is the continuum here in the FRG: here the elite, also “the people” in history, regularly swore oaths and forget it shortly afterwards or replaced it with other oaths. With the oaths it is like with the currencies: from the Reichsmark to the D-Mark and from there to the euro-whoever thinks of the value of the past paper if their mystical content has evaporated?

A touch of anarchy pervades the indictment from Verden.

It is not about “truth”, whatever that should be, in a conflict between sovereignty. It was about this conflict between the RAF and the state from both sides and thus about the struggle on which basis we put our collective existence; The state is always about betrayal. Nobody can stand here. If you stand by something, you could say. That is an act of terror. Anyone who reveals is destroyed and therefore safe. MACH works, as we know from Foucault, through discipline and compulsory confession. We all know it from George Orwell’s »1984«, where in the end Winston and Julia reveal each other and Winston found soberly: »You had revealed. After all, that was the meaning of torture, he thought – not only that you die, but that you would be broken beforehand. “

This is the struggle that Dr. Marquardt leads: The perpetrator is nothing in the end. The state, on the other hand, in Triumphaler strength. This is an addiction that is never satisfied. Lina E. receives five years and three months for attacks on right -wing radicals. It is known from the Weimar period: political murder in 1919–22 – 22 murders committed by the left, ten executions, average detention period: 15 years. 354 murders of right -wing radicals: once lifelong, average duration of detention four months. Nazi judges sentenced after 1945: none. For this, Roland Freisler’s widow received its widow’s pension in the long run, while the BGH against the members of the political office in the GDR knew how to justify why they were able to reveal the pension for prisoners in concentration camps.

It could almost be described as ironic if the investigative judge at the BGH, Dr. Dietsch, the ban on visiting Gabriele Rollnik at Daniela Klette justifies that their membership in movement in Movement was June 2 for decades, but “the deeds at that time of such weight and dangerousness (were) that conclusions about the manifestation of the inner attitude behind are permitted”. (BGH decision of December 20, 2024) Whether Dr. DIENTSCH this fixed letter in your own DNA also transfers to the DNA of the judiciary and interviews herself about your motivation? Probably not.

The last action of the RAF was in 1993 the blasting of the newly built correctional facility in Weiterstadt. In this campaign, the RAF command did everything to hurt nobody. Their resolution dated 1998. The media and state relationship has not been dissolved. With the media, at least mostly, after the arrest of Daniela Klette in February 2024 you could almost think of a feast, lured a new great food.

The year -long phantom pain of the RAF, which had been lost, flee and finally the beloved enemy appeared again on the horizon, if only as a separate projection on a cheap document basis. Many felt all about journalistic height flights in denunciation and in decancing. Some of the public prosecutors in Verden were due to obvious veneering. So the “Spiegel” was noticed by the news that Christian Klar must have hit Daniela Klette. It was all about the three -sentence: burdock, clear, raf = terror. This is one of the public prosecutor’s public atmosphere before the process, from which a corresponding judgment can almost be challenged as inevitable. A public medium is obviously easy to find.

Defender Lukas Theune demands the suspension of the procedure in a comprehensive application after the lawyers have been given two twelve and six terrabytes of large data carriers with defense -relevant data 16 hours before the start of the trial. An unimaginable amount. On the smaller, six terrabytes large plate alone there are 2.6 million so -called data terms, which can be addresses, log files or emails or pictures or anything else. A comprehensible request for defense.

To structuring this data, the police needed the Pathfinder program of the Japanese-Israeli company Cellebrite, which also sells their technical skills with which one can log into any digital device unnoticed. The lawyers do not have this program. In the context of a “equal gun”, they applied for access to this program. The application for suspension of the proceedings was rejected by the court on April 1, the second day of the trial. Also access to “Pathfinder”. Now you have a haystack where you can search for needles.

The defense application application was also rejected. The chamber, which always appears very conciliatory through its chairman, is determined for the procedure. It assures that it is not influenced by anything and committed to the truth and relies on the public prosecutor’s RAF references contained therein to have already rejected the prosecutor as meaningless for the procedure. You will see.

Cold Case is the over in criminalist forensics. Others at the police get on such cases because they bind too many resources. To find something there and to clarify where others failed, that triggered. Today it is part of many films and series: enlighten, follow up, judge. Stamp on it: done!

Ms. Dr. also has the biggest cold case in the history of the past century Marquardt missed and left unmentioned in the indictment: the post -fascist FRG with its unpunished Nazi criminals, lots of it in the police and judiciary. The RAF was also justified from this and after its end, the need for the remaining wanted came to seek financial resources to survive. Because you couldn’t really advise anyone to go into the hands of this political judiciary from the old FRG and not require anyone.

One may criticize the methods of survival, also legally evaluate it, but it is only the old political vigor to deny those affected every political morality and to demonize them subjectively. The prosecutor’s indictment in Verden is nothing else.

In the middle of everything is a defendant who is apparently with himself and exudes the calm that you need when driving hunters think that the victory is hers.
