Gavril Marinescu

Gavril Marinescu was a prominent figure in the Romanian police during the late 1930s, known for his involvement in the suppression of the Legionary Movement led by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. He was closely associated with Armand Călinescu, the Minister of the Interior, and played a key role in orchestrating the plan that led to the assassination of Codreanu and his followers in November 1938. Marinescu was tasked with ensuring the execution of the government's orders, which included infiltrating the Legionary ranks and ultimately facilitating the violent elimination of its leadership.
