The detained former far-left terrorist from the Red Army Faction (RAF), Daniela Klette, faces six arrest warrants, investigators announced at a press conference in Hanover on Tuesday, reported dpa.
The 65-year-old is now in custody for several robbery offences that took places in the German states of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia in 1999, 2006, 2015 and 2016, they said.
The authorities had been searching for the fugitive members of the RAF, also known as the Baader-Meinhof Group, for decades.
Klette was arrested in Berlin on Monday evening. She and her fellow members Burkhard Garweg and Ernst-Volker Staub are accused of attempted murder and a series of armed robberies between 1999 and 2016.
