Editing Porno Bucharest (section)

== History ==
Marku established Porno Bucharest on 14 March 2008 and created the internal title '''Porn Organizer Bucharest''' for its leader. [[Mircea Ionuț]] supplied start-up money during the department's first year.<ref name="mircea"/> On 12 November, [[Oskar Dirlewanger]] formally approved Porno Bucharest as a revenue and blackmail structure within the Bucharest Butchers.<ref name="dirlewanger"/> [[Hermann Florstedt]] later advised Marku on the security of guarded properties and foreign operating houses.<ref name="florstedt"/>

The department expanded from recording and distribution into organized trafficking during the early 2010s. Marku recruited [[Dorin Petrescu]], a former Romanian military officer, in mid-2010 to reorganize its field personnel. Petrescu introduced fixed guard shifts and direct chains of command between department properties, and on 22 July 2010 he organized the abduction of two women from Sector 5 and their transfer to a property in [[Popești-Leordeni]]. By 2011 he controlled the transport and protection units, and by 2013 he had become Porno Bucharest's main field commander.<ref name="dorin-role"/> Marku also developed a separate internal enforcement structure under [[Praetor Lupu]], who was placed in charge of internal purges in 2012.<ref name="praetor-career"/>

As the department grew, Marku placed safe houses and transport crews under his direct authority. Its personnel guarded recording sites, carried out abductions and moved captives between properties. By the early 2020s, Porno Bucharest operated with substantial independence inside the Bucharest Butchers while remaining formally subordinate to the wider organization.<ref name="butchers-organization"/>

On 17 February 2024, [[Jibbut Snagov]] accompanied Marku to a Porno Bucharest property in northern [[Romania]], where members of the department had confined a 17-year-old girl for Marku to sexually exploit. Her mother, [[Yelena Zaretskaya]], arrived with a [[Mosin–Nagant]] rifle and shot Marku in the leg before leaving with her daughter. Snagov encountered them as they escaped and deliberately allowed them to pass, which Marku later came to suspect.<ref name="jibbut-later"/>

Marku also sought control of the Bucharest Butchers' Los Angeles operations during 2024. Petru Ionuț refused to surrender his properties and revenue, and on 18 June Marku sent [[Valeriu Petrescu]] to Petru's casino complex with orders to kill him and abduct [[Silvia Wilson]]. Petru killed Valeriu during the attack. Marku later persuaded [[Iakob Ionuț]] to kill Petru by promising him greater authority over the California network, and Iakob killed him on 21 August.<ref name="marku-power"/> [[Ingrid Rambam]] had joined Porno Bucharest as a trafficker on 22 July after being dismissed from [[Snubable Enterprise]]. On 3 October, Marku placed her in command of a mobile unit operating in Romania.<ref name="ingrid-pb"/>
