 Beza, who was also working as an interviewer at "Epoca", had been arrested after attempting to kill PNL minister Constantin Angelescu.According to his own testimony, he was paid to do so by the Iron Guard, a leading far-right movement.Beza also recalled that, also in 1930, he merged "Tineretul Țepist" into the Guard—though its activists continued to act independently, and eventually seceded violently in 1934.
