Summary/Abstract: Traian Andreescu, a police officer and lawyer, graduated from two faculties (Law, and Philosophy and Letters). He was arrested and tortured under charges of espionage established by the Security of the Capital in 1948. He made the object of several sham trials and was sentenced to hard prison. Having been released, the Securitate again arrested him twice and tortured him. His life under the communist regime was an ordeal he bore stoically. Gen. Constantin (Pichi) Z. Vasiliu was chief of the General Inspectorate of the Gendarmerie between September 1940 and August 1944. Arrested on August 23, 1944, he then accompanied Marshal Ion Antonescu during detention in the USSR. He was sentenced to death and executed on June 1, 1946, at the same time with Ion Antonescu, Mihai Antonescu and Gh. Alexianu.
