Just found this browsing the 'cablegate' site of wikileaks, about the 2009 Brazil blackout:

There was also private speculation in at least one conversation among some government officials, apparently based in part of the coincidental "60 Minutes program" just days earlier suggesting vulnerabilities in the Brazilian system, that U.S. private sector interests may have engineered the blackouts to gain better commercial access to the grid.

Brazil has had only 60Hz for some decades, the former 50Hz systems in Rio, as well as Porto Alegre were converted to 60Hz already in the early 1970s or late 1960s. Sao Paulo had 60Hz from the beginning as the system there was built by a Canadian company.
