Daylight Assassination Shocks São Paulo Airport: Businessman Gunned Down, Innocents Caught In Crossfire – View from the Wing

A crypto businessman, Antônio Vinícius Lopes Gritzbach, was assassinated mid-afternoon at São Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport yesterday. The shooting, which injured three bystanders, occurred outside domestic Terminal 2, in an attack attributed to criminal gang First Capital Command (PCC) which controls significant drug trafficking routes and tentacles across South American and European crime networks.

A black vehicle pulled up to the terminal on Friday and gunmen fired upon Gritzbach and those nearby, as airport passengers scrambled for safety. The shooters escaped, abandoning their car abandoned near the airport.

Footage of the attack aftermath, circulated on social media, captures two victims lying wounded on the ground outside Terminal 2. The airport deployed police and medical teams, while additional law enforcement, including the military police, civil police, and highway patrol, joined to secure the scene.

Gritzbach had recently been cooperating with authorities on a plea bargain agreement involving his ties to the PCC which has engaged in armed robberies and attacks in Paraguay and partners with Bolivian cocaine producers and Italian mafia groups as well as engaging in illegal mining operations in the Amazon.
