Probably worth noting beyond the headline: Apple has judicial permission in Brazil to continue selling the iPhone without a charger, this is until the dispute is resolved one way or another. So for the time being they’re not actually in breach.

    > struck down by the courts This seizure was ordered by the Brazillian Ministry of Justice.

      We have multiple Ministers of Justice and multiple level courts on Brazil , so an higher court can block lower court decisions, even more when that is still been processed.

        There are several Ministers of Justice, but there is only one Ministry of Justice, that answers to the president and is not part of the Judicial Branch. Anyway, this decision was from the PROCON-DF that is a part of the Judicial Branch where no Minister of Justice works on. It's also only valid at Brasília.

What judicial permission are you referring to? Earlier this year, they were about to get their sales suspended by the ministry of justice, plus a 2.2 mi dollar fine. The court decided to postpone suspension and fine until they determine if Apple is trying to circumvent the restrictions[1]. They should comply with the law of the land if they want to continue operating in Brazil.
