TL;DR Summary

Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who imprisoned and raped his daughter for 24 years, can be moved from psychiatric detention to a regular prison under certain conditions, including attending regular psychotherapy and undergoing psychiatric evaluations during a 10-year probation period. Fritzl, now 88 and reportedly suffering from dementia, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2009 for his heinous crimes, which shocked the world when they came to light in 2008. The court's decision to move him to a regular prison is seen as an improvement from strict controls in a psychiatric institution, but prosecutors have 14 days to lodge an appeal against the ruling.
