I've essayed on a couple of occasions over the past five years of an effort tied to robberies in north Germany, which cops believe the trio involved.....are all former Red Army Faction (RAF) members, left over from the 1980s. Each robbery is planned to the ninth degree, and developed in a way to guarantee the get-away, with no casualties from the public, with weapons drawn but never used.
I bring this up because Focus (the German news magazine) brought up a robbery from a couple of days ago at the Bonn-Koln Airport area. The trio robbery? All the markings of the RAF robberies from north Germany. Amount taken? Cops are guarded, but the hint would suggest in the range of 100,000 Euro. The target? A money transport van....picking up cash from bus stops along a route.
Why these RAF members are still 'active'? Well....the general belief is that they are basically still in some hiding stance.....unable to work or collect on a pension. So they have to robbery efforts to act as their future pension. At least that's the general cop explanation.
