One of the lots of ammunition used in the execution of the whistleblower of the First Capital Command (CCP), Antonio Vinícius Gritzbach – on November 8, 2024 – is the same as projectiles used in the Botucatu’s big assault in July 2020. It was made by the Sou da Paz Institute based on the ballistic report developed by the criminal expertise held at the scene of Gritzbach’s murder.
For the Executive Director of the Sou da Paz Institute, Carolina Ricardo, even with a difference of more than four years between crimes, the presence of the same lot-in cases of different cities-demonstrates that police corruption has been going on in São Paulo a long time .
“In the case of Botucatu, other ammunition of other lots, Federal Police, Federal Highway Police, Army, were also found, so it shows that other security forces also have this failure to control ammunition and this deviation. So it’s something that can be said to be almost widespread, ”says Carolina.
The task force investigating the case of November 8, 2024 has given a tough response to police who are suspected of involvement with the CCP. So far, 26 people who would be involved in the crime have been arrested, 17 military police.
Reminiscent
The Mega-ASSALTO in Botucatu took place in July 2020 and lasted more than three hours. About 40 men participated in the criminal action. The criminals made residents hostage and stole a jewelery, leaving two military police wounded. Four men were sentenced to more than 50 years in prison by the court.
The execution of Antonio Vinícius Gritzbach took place on November 8, outside the western landing of Guarulhos International Airport. He was returning from the Northeast next to his girlfriend and police officers who were doing his private security when he was executed with rifle shots. The case showed a series of cases of police corruption.
