The Secretary of Public Security of São Paulo announced the removal of civil police officers mentioned by Antonio Vinicius Lopes Gritzbach, who was murdered at Guarulhos Airport. Gritzbach, who had made a plea bargain, promised to expose money laundering schemes related to and denounced cases of corruption within the police. Derrite revealed that some Civil Police agents were manipulating investigations to protect members of the PCC in exchange for illicit payments. The names of the officers involved have not yet been released. Gritzbach’s statement, which was approved in April, contains recorded statements, audio recordings, copies of messages and documents that are under the responsibility of the São Paulo Special Action Group for the Repression of Organized Crime (Gaeco).
The general delegate of the Civil Police, Artur Dian, announced that Gritzbach’s statements will be analyzed in three investigations being conducted by the Internal Affairs Department. The businessman had given a new statement to the inspectors just eight days before his death. According to information from the Fantástico program, Gritzbach reported that, during his arrest in 2022, police officers removed R$20,000 and a box of watches from his residence, returning it with five fewer watches. Furthermore, Gritzbach identified one of the watches in photos of one of the police officers, which were later deleted after the complaint.
