== Career ==
Miclescu was born in [[Gagu]], [[Ilfov County]], on 6 September 1961. He worked as a civilian mechanic before opening his own vehicle-repair workshop near [[Brazi]] in 1986. In 1988, he joined the [[Bucharest Butchers]] as a [[Butcher (Bucharest Butchers)|Măcelar]] and began repairing vehicles for the organization.

On 30 June 2005, Petru and Iakob reached Miclescu's workshop at approximately 6:08{{nbsp}}a.m. after escaping from [[Banca Dâmbovița]]'s cash centre in [[Ploiești]]. Miclescu helped them move the Renault Master inside and unload the stolen cash. Emil reached the workshop at approximately 6:15{{nbsp}}a.m. with three gunshot wounds. After seeing his injuries, Miclescu contacted [[Graham Mercer]], a British doctor working for the Bucharest Butchers. Mercer arrived later that morning and treated Emil's wounds and Petru's shoulder graze.<ref name="shootout-escape"/>

Later that day, Miclescu repainted the 1969 Dodge Charger stolen by Emil and fitted it with different registration plates. The Charger was never recovered.<ref name="shootout-aftermath"/>

In 2012, Miclescu's son, [[Florin Miclescu]], took over the regular mechanic work for the Bucharest Butchers. Miclescu largely stopped repairing vehicles but remained a member of the organization until its collapse in May 2025. Following the collapse, he was captured while attempting to leave Romania and was later sentenced to life imprisonment by the [[Bucharest Tribunal]].
