London: Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who imprisoned his sex slave daughter in a secret dungeon for 24 years, gets GBP 150 a month as a dishwasher in prison, it has emerged.
Fritzl, who was jailed for life after raping Elisabeth at least twice a week in a cellar where he kept her shut up for 24 years, has also made friends with one of Austria’s most notorious serial killers.
Harald Sassak, known in Austria as The Gasman, is serving life for robbing and throttling to death seven pensioners. Fritzl, 74, is also pals with triple murderer Gunter Lorenz and former Olympic ice skating star Wolfgang Schwarz, who is serving 10 years for plotting to kidnap the 18-year-old daughter of a Romanian tycoon, reports The Daily Express.
Fritzl, who is incarcerated at Stein Prison in Krems, Austria, does washing and folds laundry, wipes down tables and sweeps floors. He works alongside 23 other men for between six and seven hours a day.
Peter Prechtl, of Stein Prison, said Fritzl is closely monitored.
He added: “He is well- integrated now and ready to work.”
