Summary
- Josef Fritzl, infamous for keeping his daughter captive for 24 years and fathering seven children with her, has been ruled by an Austrian court to be moved to a normal prison.
- Due to his progressive dementia and physical frailty, Fritzl is deemed to no longer pose a danger requiring him to be in a prison psychiatric unit.
- The ruling may eventually lead to his release, though the court indicated it would not be possible for special preventative reasons given his past actions.
- The Fritzl case, considered one of Austria’s worst, shocked the world when it came to light in 2008.
