This link - http://exame.abril.com.br/tecn... - (In portuguese) - Has way more information about this issue. Some interesting points from it:
-Suspension will occur because Facebook didn't provide messages for an investigation still underway.
-The judge says that Facebook responded the request in English, not an official language in Brazil.
-Important: THE REQUESTS ARE ONLY FOR FUTURE MESSAGES. (Justice seeks only to obtain copies of future messages of the investigated).
-The company argues that providing the messages will make its users lose faith in the app. The Judge calls it BS: Phones are recorded all the time and people didn't lose faith / stopped using their telecom providers.
-There is a fine of ~15K USD/day until the order is followed.
