Overview
- Prosecutors asked Wednesday for a 15-year sentence, urging conviction for attempted communal murder and serious gang robbery with weapons.
- A 2015 attack on a cash van in Stuhr remains pivotal, as judges signaled conditional intent to kill rather than attempted murder, which prosecutors still press.
- Investigators say a 2024 search of Klette’s Berlin flat uncovered firearms, a Panzerfaust replica, detailed notes, more than €240,000 in cash and over a kilo of gold, with DNA traces tying the group to getaway cars.
- The prosecution wants roughly €2.4 million in alleged robbery proceeds confiscated, arguing the money funded years in hiding.
- Victims’ lawyers urged a long sentence and described lasting trauma, while the court plans defense closings for May 12–13 with a possible verdict at the end of May.
