Ioan Petrăchescu (1908 – 1979?)

Summary/Abstract: Ioan Petrăchescu was the son of a lower bourgeois family and was hired in 1933 by the police of the Prefecture of the Capital. Between 1939 and June 1944, he was transferred to the Royal Palace, holding the rank of commissioner and serving as the Chief of the public guard detachment. This responsibility kept him away from involvement in operational police activities of a judicial or security nature. After returning to the Prefecture of the Capital, he was placed in the disposable category.The Security opened a file to investigate him only in April 1954. In the statements of former colleagues regarding his career, both in the Police and at the Royal Palace, there was no mention of any activities in the Security or other compromising information, so he was proposed to be released. On September 8, 1966, the Security decided to open a verification file on the former policeman, as they were informed that he had engaged in agitation activities with a hostile character against the communist regime. Ioan Petrăchescu was under the supervision of the Security until 1979.
