During the early 1950s, Dirlewanger rebuilt the Bucharest Butchers around planned robberies and corrupt state contacts. On 4 January 1950, he summoned [[Teodor Ionuț]] and [[Sandu Ionuț]] to a disused cold-storage building near [[Obor Market]] in [[Bucharest]]. Teodor had handled informal money exchange for the old Butchers before the war. Sandu controlled a small armed group in eastern Bucharest. Dirlewanger placed both men under a single Bucharest command. Teodor became responsible for stored money. Sandu became responsible for robberies approved by Dirlewanger. | During the early 1950s, Dirlewanger rebuilt the Bucharest Butchers around planned robberies and corrupt state contacts.
