Incest monster Josef Fritzl was a regular at a brothel where he ordered terrified prostitutes to pretend to be dead, it was revealed today. A former bartender at the bordello claimed Fritzl was so weird and domineering, girls at the club were reluctant to go with him.
Christoph Flugel worked for six years at the Villa Ostende in Linz, 40 miles from Amstetten where Fritzl, 73, built the underground lair where he raped his daughter over 24 years.
He was neatly dressed and courteous. But as soon as one of the girls he wanted to go upstairs with approached him, his mood changed. He added: "Ninety-five percent of customers are totally normal, three per cent are a bit weird. Fritzl belongs to the remaining two per cent that are definitely mentally ill.
Two of them even strictly refused to and did without the earnings. But Fritzl went there again and again as the brothel changed its prostitutes every ten weeks. I will never forget his tight-fistedness too. Working as a bartender, you never forget such behaviour, especially when working in a night club. Josef Fritzl was a regular at the Villa Ostende brothel in the city of Linz.
