A court in Austria has ruled that Josef Fritzl, who kept his daughter captive for 24 years in a dungeon and fathered seven children with her, can be moved to a normal prison due to his "progressive dementia" and physical frailty, no longer posing a significant danger. His lawyer plans to apply for eventual release, but the court stated that release or conditional release would not be possible due to his "unprecedented criminal energy." The Fritzl case, described as one of Austria's worst, involved Fritzl living a double life as he imprisoned his daughter and had children with her.
