Editing Nicolae Ionuț (section)

== Early life ==
Nicolae Traian Ionuț was born on 17 April 1991 in [[Ferentari]], [[Bucharest]], [[Romania]]. His father, [[Traian Ionuț]], was a Bucharest Butchers drug trafficker who used freight yards and market routes in Sector 5. His mother, [[Liliana Dobre-Ionuț]], worked at a stadium kiosk before taking cleaning work at municipal sports facilities. During childhood, Nicolae moved between his parents' flat and relatives' apartments in [[Sector 5, Bucharest|Sector 5]].

Ionuț completed lower secondary education in Bucharest on 17 June 2006. On 11 September 2006, he enrolled in a vocational high school in Sector 5. From 2006 to 2009, he was bullied by older pupils and neighbourhood youths. The bullying centred on humiliation in front of groups, which later appeared in his own pattern of public offences. He stopped attending classes regularly after 24 March 2008 and left school on 12 June 2009 without completing upper secondary education.

After leaving school, Ionuț worked irregular jobs near markets and stadium kiosks. His mother's work around sports facilities gave him early familiarity with staff doors, storage rooms, steward routines, and the movement of spectators through older stadium grounds. His father refused to sponsor him for the Bucharest Butchers after a family meeting on 18 November 2015, judging him too unstable and too visible for Butcher work.
