Crypto businessman killed in apparent assassination at Sao Paulo airport
Briefly

Antonio Vinicius Lopes Gritzbach, a businessman involved with cryptocurrencies, was shot dead in an apparent gangland assassination linked to the First Capital Command (PCC) in São Paulo.
As the most powerful crime syndicate in Brazil, the PCC has expanded its influence across South America, controlling crucial drug trafficking routes and engaging in violent crime.
The PCC, founded in 1993, has grown to become a dominant criminal faction, involved in serious offenses like drug smuggling, extortion, and targeted killings.
Lopes Gritzbach's connections to the PCC and ongoing legal issues, including a plea bargain, highlight the complex interplay between organized crime and legitimate business activities in Brazil.
