🚨 URGENT: See the moment when a businessman is executed by the PCC at Guarulhos Airport

Gritzbach was returning from a trip to the Northeast with his girlfriend, whose name was not released, and the driver, Danilo Lima Silva – they were not injured.
The businessman’s lawyer, Ivelton Salotto, attributed the death to the plea bargain that the businessman had closed. The information was published by Uol. Salotto told the portal that he had recommended that Gritzbach not make the accusation because “it wouldn’t end well”.
ATTACK AT CHRISTMAS
On Christmas 2023, Gritzbach escaped an assassination attempt in the building where he lived in Jardim Anália Franco, east of São Paulo. A sniper fired at a window of the apartment where the businessman was staying with his parents, children and uncles.
According to reports from the lawyer to the Uolthe shot was fired when Gritzbach approached the window to take footage with his cell phone. No one was injured in the episode.
DELATION WITH THE MP
In March of this year, the São Paulo Public Ministry had signed a plea bargain agreement with Gritzbach. He was considered a “important piece” in investigations into the criminal faction PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital).
Gritzbach had promised to reveal “hierarchical structure, division of tasks and modus operandi” of the PCC’s money laundering scheme. He was shot dead in Terminal 2 of Guarulhos airport.
The businessman had committed to contributing to the investigations and “present information regarding the practice of acts of corruption involving police chiefs and police officers”in addition to revealing databases and documents from the criminal faction and helping in the recovery “total or partial of the proceeds or benefits of criminal offenses committed by the criminal association”.
The Special Action Group for the Repression of Organized Crime of the Public Prosecutor’s Office offered, in exchange for the plea bargain, a judicial pardon for the crime of joining a criminal organization and a reduction in the sentence for money laundering, with the imposition of an initial open regime if convicted. The businessman would also have to pay a fine of R$15 million.
