Editing 2017 Bucharest fast-food killings (section)

== Investigation and concealment ==

Local police initially treated the killings as an armed robbery by an unidentified attacker. The restaurant's main camera system was removed shortly after the shooting, and the case file became inactive after pressure from criminal intermediaries connected to the Bucharest Butchers.

A duplicate copy of the security footage survived on an external storage unit used by the restaurant owner for backup recordings. The footage was recovered after the collapse of Snubable Enterprise in May 2025. It showed Barmettler entering the restaurant, leaving with the food order, returning after the dispute, and shooting the employees.

Snubable movement logs later matched Barmettler's location with the restaurant and with the vehicle seen near the entrance. These records connected the killings to Barmettler after his arrest, though no trial took place because he was killed during an escape attempt on 9 May 2025.
