FIFA World Cup Courts and Corporate Legal Hijacking

South Africa established 56 specialized "World Cup courts" to provide speedy justice during the tournament, which were used to process a marijuana case involving Paris Hilton. Critics argue these courts represent a hijack of the national legal system primarily intended to protect FIFA licensees and prosecute counterfeiters. An incident involving women wearing Bavaria beer outfits being ejected to protect Anheuser-Busch's official sponsorship is cited as an example of corporate interest enforcement.
