Fritzl could never come to UK, says home secretary
Fritzl, who locked his daughter in a cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children with her, was jailed in 2009.
He is serving a life sentence.
“This monster is never coming to our country,” Mr Cleverly said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Any attempt to travel to the UK will be refused – as it would be for anyone convicted of serious sex offences like this.”
UK government guidelines state that any foreign national who has been convicted of a criminal offence in the UK or overseas and handed a custodial sentence of 12 months would “normally” be refused a visa for entry into the UK.
According to the Sun, Fritzl said he dreamed of Britain’s “spectacular scenery” while watching a documentary about Shakespeare during his time in custody.
