INCEST beast Josef Fritzl believes that US President Donald Trump is sending him secret messages through hand signals, his lawyer said.
Fritzl is currently in prison for the heinous crime of keeping his own daughter, Elisabeth, captive in his basement for 24 years, where he raped her and fathered seven children with her.
His lawyer, Astrid Wagner, recently shared that Fritzl believes certain hand gestures made by former US President Trump during press conferences were actually coded messages intended specifically for him.
He claims that the Republican is updating him on talks with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin through the gestures.
Despite being 90 years old and battling dementia, Fritzl is convinced that the applause he hears from the audience while watching his favorite folk music programs on television is a form of appreciation from the people of Austria directed towards him personally.
The rapist is currently locked up in the psychiatric unit of Stein prison in Krems, but is expected to get transferred to a regular prison soon after a ruling by a court in the Lower Austrian city last year.
The decision was viewed by some as the first step towards parole and potentially an early release.
His lawyer Wagner told local media that Fritzl’s dementia is worsening, adding that he should be transferred to a dementia unit instead of his current unit.
Alongside Fritzl’s beliefs on Trump’s signals and the folk music applause, his lawyer was also told by him that Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker had rang him to ask to “look after the children” in Austria.
Wagner said: “In truth, he needs special therapy.”
Despite talks of him moving unit, Frizl is already planning his life after prison and has requested for help in finding a countryside property with a cellar, Wagner revealed.
She told MailOnline previously: “I went to see Mr Fritzl in prison today, and he keeps talking about wanting to be in a house when he gets out of prison, and he has made very, very clear it has to have a cellar.
“He says he wants a cellar because he has so many things he needs to store.
“Of course he’s been transferred from a high security to the standard prison, but he still has all his things which he has collected over the years.
“I’m talking about loads and loads of files and folders. This is why he said his new place absolutely has to have a cellar.”
She also revealed that Fritzl believes he would receive a great “fanfare” upon his release.
Wagner told the Mirror: “He believes that when he is released, he will come out to a big celebration with people cheering and music and wanting to shake his hand.
“This is obviously not the case. It is a fantasy. I don’t think he fully understands what the world really thinks. Every time I see him, he says he regrets his decisions every day.
“He has ruined his life. He always talks about his regrets about his crimes. He thinks he has friends on the outside, but he hasn’t.
“One thing he accepts is that his family no longer want to see him and respects that.”
Josef Fritzl’s crimes
THE twisted dad asks his daughter Elisabeth to help him install a door in his cellar in 1984.
She agreed and moments later she is drugged with an ether-soaked towel, tied up and chained to a bed.
She would spend the next 24 years locked up in the hellish prison in Amstetten.
Evil Fritzl went on to rape her over 3,000 times in rat-infested bunker.
He would beat and kick her and force her into degrading acts – including re-enacting scenes from violent porn films.
Elisabeth gave birth to seven babies in the cellar with no medical care.
Kerstin, born 1988, Stefan (1990) and Felix (2002) were left to live with their mum in the underground hellhole.
But Lisa, (born 1992) Monica (1994) and Alexander (1996) – were raised upstairs, by Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie after he convinced her they were left on the doorstep by Elisabeth.
Alexander’s twin Michael died shortly after birth with cruel Fritzl tossing his body in an incinerator.
The family’s nightmare sees Fritzl threatening them if they dare to escape and punishing them by switching off the electricity.
Their nightmare comes to an end when Kerstin fell critically ill in 2008.
Fritzl allowed Elisabeth to take her to the hospital where she revealed the shocking horrors she had suffered.
Despite trying to argue he was trying to be a protective father, Fritzl was sentenced to life in prison in 2009.
DAUGHTER’S NIGHTMARE
Fritzl kept his daughter Elisabeth captive in a newly-built cellar complex, for 24 years, since 1984.
The evil dad drugged and abused his daughter, raped her more than 3,000 times and fathered seven children with her.
The heartless monster did not hesitate to toss the bodies of the children who died at birth into a furnace.
Three of the children were raised in the basement by their mum while another three were brought up by sick Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie.
Fritzl had convinced his wife their daughter had run away to join a sect.
In a cruel twist, he forced Elisabeth to write letters to Rosemarie, claiming she was unable to care for the kids, asking her to raise them.
It was only when Elisabeth’s eldest daughter, Kerstin, fell critically ill that her ordeal came to an end in 2008.
In a rare act of mercy, Fritzl allowed Elisabeth to take the 19-year-old to the hospital.
She managed to speak to police revealing the horrors she had suffered throughout the years.
Her first words were “No one will believe me.”
Elisabeth’s recorded 11-hour testimony led to Fritzl’s sentencing to life imprisonment.
Elisabeth and her children live now under adopted names after going through years of therapy, while Rosemarie, now 84, is believed to be living in a small flat in Linz – around 30 miles from the former Fritzl home.
Meanwhile, Fritzl’s physical and mental health has deteriorated.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun through his lawyer last year, Fritzl claimed he would see his family again one day.
He also said he wanted to live to 130 and he was confident he would be able to do so if he drinks enough water.
