I?m Brazilian, and I can?t tell you it will never happen. In Latin America football (soccer) is a source of corruption and social control. FIFA and the national federations are almighty and do as they please, since politicians do billions and get elected on top of football. Beer will be sold freely at the World Cup in Brazil, no matter how much posturing some congressmen are doing, knowing it is all for show. This is why we are third-world, or, as it is politically correct to say, "emerging countries".
You are reading newspapers from 20 years ago, buddy. That generalized disregard for the law is something from the 80s. Post-Bush America has more crooks than contemporary Brazil.
Don't judge the country for some stupid first instance judges that want to appear in the media. Google is doing perfectly fine in Brazil and they can invalidate that kind of ruling overnight. This fad is going away. Less and less judges do that in Brazil.
