The way I’m interpreting it is that the charges were dismissed or retracted before they went to trial. The same thing can happen in the US.
For reference, Brazil uses a different legal philosophy (Civil Law) than most of the US and English-speaking countries (Common Law) so there are differences in how things work compared to the US, but presumption of innocence is also a feature in that philosophy, and specifically codified into law there from what I see on wiki.
