In a significant legal proceeding, the Court of Guarulhos has set the trial date for three military police officers involved in the murder of Antônio Vinícius Lopes Gritzbach, a businessman and informant for the PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital). The officers, cabo Dênis Antônio Martins, soldier Ruan Silva Rodrigues, and lieutenant Fernando Genauro da Silva, are accused of directly participating in the shooting that took place at São Paulo's International Airport in November 2024. As it currently stands, all three officers are in custody awaiting trial, which is set to occur between June 22 and 26 at the Criminal Forum of Guarulhos.

The Public Prosecutor's Office has presented substantial evidence linking the officers to the crime. According to the prosecution, Martins and Rodrigues are identified as the shooters who exited a black car to shoot Gritzbach, while Silva is accused of being the driver. The officers' identification was aided by geolocation data from apps, cellular tower records, and genetic material recovered from the getaway vehicle, as well as footage from security cameras.

This case highlights the ongoing challenges in addressing crime and corruption within law enforcement in Brazil, particularly involving organized crime syndicates like the PCC. The implications of this trial could be significant, especially considering the role of informants in dismantling criminal organizations. The outcome may impact public trust in the police force and could set a precedent for future cases involving police misconduct and violence against informants.
