A cryptocurrency businessman has been shot and killed in Brazil’s busiest airport in an attack that left three others injured.
Antonio Vinicius Lopes Gritzbach was killed by unidentified gunmen in a black car at Sao Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport on Friday.
Mr Gritzbach had received death threats from the First Command of the Capital (FCC) – a powerful international criminal group.
The businessman had recently entered into a plea bargain with local prosecutors to provide information on his ties to the FCC, police said.
Two men who had been wounded in the shooting were taken to a nearby hospital. A woman was also injured.
Sao Paulo state’s security secretary said in a statement that the murder, and its cause, were still under investigation.
Local media have reported that the killing was likely linked to organised crime.
Footage published on social media shows two individuals who appear to have been shot at the airport.
One victim is seen lying on the ground at Terminal 2, which is primarily used for domestic flights, while the other is seen stranded on an access road outside the terminal.
