INCEST monster Josef Fritzl, who held his daughter in a dungeon for 24 years, could soon be freed if his latest bid for release is successful.

His lawyer is arguing the 90-year-old no longer poses a danger to the public because he is suffering from dementia.

Fritzl, who has changed his name, fathered seven children with his daughter before being convicted of rape, enslavement, incest and murder by neglect of his son in 2009.

On Sunday, his lawyer Astrid Wagner lodged an application for his early release at a court in Lower Austria.

She said Fritzl, who was moved to a regular jail from a psychiatric facility in May, 2024, should begin with supervised day release.

She said his dementia is worsening and manifests in bizarre delusions.

He believes Donald Trump sends him secret hand signals during White House briefings.
