“The psychiatric expert presented her report and altogether stuck to her initial findings according to which Mr. Fritzl presents no danger anymore – no danger that would make it necessary to keep him in prison. And from that you can only deduct that now Mr. Fritzl will be moved from high security prison to regular prison. The formal decision has yet to delivered, but will probably arrive in the coming days.”

“I have to add that based on the report of the expert it is possible that he might be released fom prison altogether – for several reasons which I don’t want to discuss in detail today. But I’m pretty optimistic that he will be released in the future, so he won’t be in prison anymore but maybe in a nursing home.”

STORYLINE:
Josef Fritzl might be released from high security prison and moved to a regular prison, his lawyer said Tuesday.
Speaking after a hearing at the Stein prison in Krems, Astrid Wagner told reporters that Fritzl presented “no danger” anymore and will probably be moved to a regular prison in the near future.
The official verdict of the judges will be delivered later in writing.
Wagner confirmed that she is still hopeful her client will eventually be released from prison altogether.
The 89-year-old Fritzl is hoping to live out his remaining days in a nursing home or under a similar arrangement.
Fritzl became known as the “monster of Amstetten” after the northern Austrian town where he locked up his then-18-year-old daughter in a sound-proofed basement of his house in 1984.
Over the next 24 years, he repeatedly raped her and fathered seven children with her, one of whom died.
