"The panel of judges decided to issue a written ruling," Wagner told reporters on leaving a hearing in the prison where Fritzl is being held. Further evidence was presented on his mental and physical condition and his suitability for transfer. At a hearing in a courthouse in the same town of Krems an der Donau near Vienna in January, the court allowed Fritzl's transfer, only for a higher court to overturn that decision in March, ruling that"the facts necessary for such a conditional release had not yet fully been established".
