This is the best summary I could come up with:

The arrest came after a television programme, Aktenzeichen XY – the German equivalent of the UK’s Crimewatch – recently profiled the trio, and was led by investigators in Lower Saxony where many robberies took place between 1999 and 2016.

The RAF, also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang, after its founding members, Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, was behind a campaign of terror in what was then West Germany in the 1970s and 1980s, involving attacks, kidnappings and murders.

Their actions, interpreted in part as their generation’s angry reaction to their parents’ and grandparents’ apparent complicity in the Nazi era, have inspired a range of books and films.

The RAF’s victims included the Dresdner Bank boss Jürgen Ponto, the Deutsche Bank chair Alfred Herrhausen, the head of the agency overseeing state-owned property of the former communist East Germany, Detlev Rohwedder, the West German attorney general Siegfried Buback, the business executive Hans Martin Schleyer and the senior West German diplomat Gerold von Braunmühl.

The interior minister of Lower Saxony, Daniela Behrens, called the Klette arrest a “fantastic success” and said it sent out the message “that terrorists in Germany can never feel safe”.

Germany’s office for criminal investigations recently issued an appeal to the consciences of the families of the former RAF members, urging them to approach the authorities anonymously with any information that could lead to their loved ones’ arrests.
