Josef Fritzl, the criminal known for his heinous acts, has expressed his desire to regain freedom and wander the Austrian countryside once more from his prison cell. Despite his conviction for appalling crimes, his legal team is pushing for his release.

During a recent meeting with his lawyer, Astrid Wagner, inside the prison, Fritzl stated, “I just want to be free again. I’ve had enough of being here and dealing with so many problems.” Wagner disclosed that Fritzl expressed his wish to reconnect with nature and enjoy the outdoors, emphasizing his eagerness to participate in social training courses for day release trips.

In 2009, Fritzl was found guilty of various charges, including murder by neglect, enslavement, rape, incest, and coercion for holding his daughter, Elisabeth, captive in a cellar for 24 years. Wagner has submitted two requests for the release of the 90-year-old, advocating for his full-time freedom. She is also pursuing a special day release program for him.

Wagner mentioned, “He yearns for fresh air, the sound of birds chirping, and simple pleasures like savoring coffee and ice cream. Fritzl, a self-proclaimed food enthusiast with a sweet tooth, looks forward to indulging in vanilla treats and exploring activities like hiking in the mountains.”

Despite Fritzl’s distorted reality perception, where he believes people admire him, Wagner clarified his misperceptions about receiving signals from Trump and managing negotiations with Putin. She stressed that Fritzl’s outings, typically supervised by authorities, would involve visits to cafes, city strolls, or day trips to places like Vienna.

Wagner highlighted Fritzl’s belief that everyone is content with him, reflecting his skewed understanding of reality. She emphasized his strong technical skills and willingness to engage in productive activities.
