Wait so the EU can have a $7B windfall from a guilty verdict yet they will remain impartial? Nice!
The judges shouldn't be seeing a penny more or less no matter the verdict. If they're bribed that is another matter.

But don't the judges work for the EU?

Judges may think of their families, communities, and countries; in something of this scale it would be hard to be impartial.
If a politician came to them and said, "we're going to use that $6B to fund this particular program," well sure, but that would seem to be a subset of bribery.

Yes, and their job is to interpret the law impartially. It isn't a perfect system. How would you suggest we improve upon it?
Once this is setup the world will be united. We can then call it the United Countries or something like that. It's going to be great!
I don't understand why Google gets attacked when at least you can install competing services and you can't on iOS. Why does iOS get a pass? If Google built the hardware itself it could lock it down all it wants? That's the reason? You can get Firefox on Android and not on iOS. You can replace almost anything, and on iOS you can't. You can disable many of the default apps on Android, I don't know if you can on iOS.
Google has a ridiculous amount of power, and if they say jump, everyone in the industry has to ask how high. They've left a bunch of "but technically" loopholes to excuse themselves, but given that it's impossible to sell a SUCCESSFUL Android smartphone without signing their contract, those loopholes don't stand up in court.

If you seriously believe in such endemic corruption, you could equally fantasise that Google has enough money to buy a not-guilty verdict, yet the EU will remain impartial?
