The PMC belongs to Horațiu Potra, local couselor in Mediaș, Sibiu County and the choice of Călin Georgescu for his personal security (Georgescu refused the security provided by the state, through the Service for Protection and Security - SPP - chosing the services of Potra instead). In december, after the elections were anulled, some of these mercenaries were detained by the police while heading to Bucharest, with their cars stuffed with knives, guns and other weapons.

Potra himself was detained, but subsequently released due to lack of evidence.

His PMC was also associated with Wagner.
