sparked, as Eugen Teodorescu and GhiŃă Stoia had not managed to adequately use the
sympathetic ink in December 1947, and the informative notes reached to Salzburg could
not be read. In February 1948, problems with the sympathetic ink had appeared again, as
they used wrongly the solving formula and it became unusable 19 . Finally, Dragoş Hoinic
wrote the informative notes with regular ink, risking to be arrested for espionage, in case he
was searched. Decebal-Corneliu Andrei supplied him with data on the situation of the oil
production, the political reports in general and a few military information 20 . He left by late
February, through the border Pilu (county of Arad), serving as guide also to the professor
Dragoş Protopopescu. Before leaving, he met Nicolae Petraşcu, to whom he ordered to
personally meet Horia Sima, or at least Traian Borobaru, to whom he should transmit the
real situation in the country and should receive instructions for the future. Arrived at
Salzburg, he sent the informative notes to Vasile Mailat, who put him into contact with
Borobaru. Mircea Dimitriu participated in the discussion with Traian Borobaru 21 .
After Dragoş Hoinic’s leaving to Austria, Eugen Teodorescu required a new meeting
with Nicolae Petraşcu. The meeting was organized by Decebal-Corneliu Andrei, the
chosen place being Domeniilor Park from Bucharest. Teodorescu was dissatisfied with
not receiving support from Petraşcu. After this discussion, Eugen Teodorescu received a
first important aid from the “Country’s Commandment”, through involving the Capital’s
organization in the information-collection action. This way, Decebal-Corneliu Andrei
contacted Mircea Nicolau, who appointed Luca Dumitrescu to collaborate to the
operation. Andrei and Dumitrescu developed an information-collection network,
according to the model brought by Eugen Teodorescu in December 1947. Therefore, in
the framework of the Capital’s “RăsleŃi Body”, five informative teams were constituted,
with numbers from 14 to 18. Each team consisted in five people, including their head.
The team no. 14 was led by C. Diaconescu (recruited by Mircea Nicolau), the team no. 15
was led by Cristian Petrescu (recruited by Luca Dumitrescu), the team no. 16 was led by
Puiu Anastasescu (recruited by Luca Dumitrescu), the team no. 17 was led by Gheorghe
Gall (recruited by Luca Dumitrescu), and the team no. 18 was led by Nonu Sassu
(recruited by Mircea Nicolau). The team no. 14 started its activity in early March, the
team no. 15 and the team no. 16 was constituted in late March and the team no. 17 and
the team no. 18 were constituted in April. They were quite difficultly organized and they
only had regular action in April 1947. On the occasion of the Easter, they were no longer
complete and could not be subsequently reorganized.
According to Decebal-Corneliu Andrei’s instructions, Luca Dumitrescu had to
personally contact every head of team in order to pick up the information. In his turn, the
head of the team was in direct contact with its four members. He talked to them orally
and thereafter drew up the informative note, towards Luca Dumitrescu. He made a
synthesis of the data he received, he thereafter submitted them to Decebal-Corneliu
Andrei (he met him every 7-10 days). Luca Dumitrescu’s informative report had to have
seven points: 1. news as regards the government’s activity; 2. PCR activity; 3. historical
parties and opposition in general; 4. news on the Legionary Movement (within the
organization and government’s attitude towards the Legionary Movement); 5. news from the
Legionary Movement dissidents’ camp; 6. news on the resistance movements; 7. sundries 22 .
