Ion Gusan bought the best equipment for the two clandestine factories, in Brasov and Clinceni (Ilfov) and hired qualified personnel. Gusan’s illegal business was extremely profitable, the two factories produced 260,000 cigarettes in four working hours.

DIICOT prosecutors explained that Nicu Patron was crowned “thief in law”, a title awarded to him by the leaders of criminal groups at the highest criminal level in Moscow, based on a “code of rules” with closed circuit, accessible to a very small number.
He is responsible for observing the clan’s code of laws, for organizing the gang and “judging” those who violate discipline within the criminal group, as well as for collecting, registering and distributing the income of each of the subordinate criminal nuclei, independently. of criminal activities. developed by each of these nuclei.
Gusan is recognized by all leaders of international criminal groups as the “supreme leader”. He owes his fame after he hired the murderer Vitalie Proca to kill, in London, the Russian millionaire Gherman Gorbuntov.
According to an article in “Rise Project”, in the early 2000s, through a specific ritual, Gusan was “baptized” as “vor v zakone”, which in Russian means “thief in law”.
The “Patron” group is organized on military principles and operates in accordance with all the iron rules of the Russian mafia. They have their own budget, called an “obsession”, in which the proceeds of criminal activities are paid. “Thieves in law” enjoy this status their entire lives and have the right to die on group members who violate the unwritten laws of the organization.
The traditional territory of the “Patron” group includes Moldova, Transnistria, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and southern Ukraine, even if the most profitable criminal operations were carried out in Western European countries.

Daniel Trandafirescu, former policeman, currently a lawyer, son of judge Zinica Trandafirescu, of the Prahova Court, was co-opted in Nicu Patron’s group. The cooperation was carried out by the Moldovan thief Valeriu Gori, Ion Gusan’s henchman.
