Editing Valeriu Petrescu (section)

== Personal life ==

Petrescu was an alcoholic and frequently drank while working for [[Porno Bucharest]]. His drinking and violent behaviour earned him the nicknames "Dirty" and "Drunk Dog of Bucharest" among members of the [[Bucharest Butchers]]. He also used cannabis, anabolic steroids and stimulants obtained through contacts associated with the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]]. His father, [[Dorin Petrescu]], intervened when other members attempted to discipline him over his conduct.

By 2017, Petrescu owned a house where he held parties and met other Porno Bucharest members. Women were brought to the property to cook and clean. Investigators later found that several had been coerced into remaining there because Petrescu controlled their access to money and transport.

In 2020, Petrescu hired an independent hairdresser for appointments at his house. He refused to pay her and repeatedly threatened and raped her after haircuts, treating the assaults as payment. She disclosed the abuse after the fall of the Bucharest Butchers but remained anonymous.

Petrescu frequently drove stolen or unregistered cars. Romanian police officers who stopped him commonly released him after learning of his position in the Bucharest Butchers. In 2021, Hungarian police detained him near [[Szeged]] while he was driving a stolen [[Lamborghini Urus]]. He was held in a local cell until his father arranged his release through lawyers and criminal contacts.
