Police said officers had been deployed to the airport and surrounding area.  <!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"text-block\">\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">The moment two hooded men exited a car holding sub-machine guns and began firing outside the airport terminal was caught on security camera.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Gritzbach, a former member of the PCC, dropped his bag and tried to run away &#8211; but he was shot many times and died at the scene.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">A cryptocurrency expert, Gritzbach had been in the process of telling officials how he helped the group launder millions of dollars.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Reports in Brazilian media suggest he was once considered a key player in the gang&#8217;s operation.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">As part of his plea deal, Gritzbach had promised to help investigators locate other members and hand over documents. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">In exchange, S\u00e3o Paulo prosecutors are said to have offered Gritzbach a judicial pardon and a reduction of his sentence for money laundering.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">The PCC was formed in the early 1990s and has gone on to become one of Brazil&#8217;s most feared drug gangs.
