Arrest and Imprisonment
Haule was arrested in an ice-cream parlour in Rüsselsheim on the 2 August 1986. She was charged with the failed bomb attack in Oberammergau as well as membership in a criminal organisation, robbery and falsification of documents. On the 28 June 1988 she was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment.
Haule was due for release in 2001, but the Rhein-Main Air Base bombing and murder of Edward Pimental charges were brought against her. New pieces of evidence (which involved Haule's own letters to another RAF member in prison containing self-incriminating information) were used to prove her guilt and she has since had her sentence extended. She was moved to a women's prison in Neukölln. She stated that 'an end to her detention was not foreseeable.'
Parole was granted on August 17 with her release date set for August 21, 2007. However, officials released her on the 17th in order to protect her from the media. She has since shown no remorse for her actions as a member of the RAF.
