Summary/Abstract: Among the socio-professional categories hunted by the communists after taking over the power in Romania, an important place was taken by the former employees of the police and state security. The above study presents the case of a police superior officer Nicolae Turcu,former prefect of the Police of the capital city, who was under higher and higher pressure, starting in the spring of 1945. Arrested several times, without proof that could incriminate him directly or clearly, he died on 15.10. 1955 at the age of 64 in the penitenciary hospital of Vacaresti. His case is not the only one of this kind.
