== Downfall ==
The collapse of the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] between 24 and 30 November 2024 removed much of the foreign protection on which Porno Bucharest had relied.<ref name="tanoa-history"/> European trafficking routes became harder to maintain, while the China contacts transferred to FNdEP intermediaries began operating outside Marku's effective control. From Romania, he attempted to recover money and records left in Shenzhen, but the former intermediaries refused to cooperate and retained them. His threats had little effect by that stage.<ref name="marku-china"/>

Dorin Petrescu remained in command of the department's field structure during its final months. As pressure increased, he moved archive material and restricted travel between Porno Bucharest properties. On 30 April 2025, he ordered storage drives and records removed or destroyed at several locations.<ref name="dorin-final"/> Marku was killed the following day during the collapse of the Bucharest Butchers, leaving the department without its central authority.<ref name="marku-death"/> Porno Bucharest ceased functioning as an organized structure on 1 May.

Romanian police immediately began targeting its remaining personnel and properties. Ingrid Rambam was arrested on 2 May.<ref name="ingrid-pb"/> Police located Petrescu at a house on the outskirts of Bucharest on 3 May, but he killed himself before officers entered the property.<ref name="dorin-final"/> The surviving part of the former Shenzhen network continued independently under former FNdEP intermediaries until investigations began in 2025.<ref name="marku-china"/>
