Before Dirlewanger’s arrival, the Butchers were led by [[Ilie Ionuț]]. Ilie had become leader on 12 April 1900, a date chosen inside the family because it matched the birth date of [[Dragos Ionuț]]. Under Ilie, the Butchers remained a small Bucharest family network that operated through old storage sites and local enforcement crews. | |||
On 17 September 1948, Dirlewanger completed the first post-war reorganization of the group. | Dirlewanger entered [[Bucharest]] in June 1945 and used his claimed descent from [[Grozav Ionuț]] to challenge Ilie’s authority. On 16 June 1945, Dirlewanger murdered Ilie during an internal succession dispute. He assumed leadership of the Butchers on 18 June. | ||
Former SS officer [[Hermann Florstedt]] joined Dirlewanger during the establishment of the new organization. Florstedt had escaped the execution scheduled for him at [[Buchenwald concentration camp]] on 5 April 1945 and subsequently reached Bucharest. He became Dirlewanger’s right-hand man and principal deputy. Florstedt helped bring the existing crews under Dirlewanger’s authority and enforced direct reporting to the new leadership. | |||
On 17 September 1948, Dirlewanger and Florstedt completed the first post-war reorganization of the group. They placed the Butchers under a single command and separated control of money from enforcement work. The reorganization created the modern [[Bucharest Butchers]], with Dirlewanger as leader and Florstedt holding authority immediately below him. | |||

On 18 August 2007, intermediaries connected to Snubable Enterprise secured a disused metal-processing factory between [[Balotești]] and [[Moara Vlăsiei]], north of Bucharest. Dirlewanger approved Butchers protection for the site because it gave the organization a fixed industrial location outside the city. The site later became part of the infrastructure used by Snubable Enterprise. | On 18 August 2007, intermediaries connected to Snubable Enterprise secured a disused metal-processing factory between [[Balotești]] and [[Moara Vlăsiei]], north of Bucharest.

The department later became tied to Snubable-linked protection channels and increased Marku’s influence inside the Bucharest Butchers. | ||
