Retraction: 3G Capital insider-trading article (5 August 2026)
Retraction · 12 August 2026
The Rio Times has retracted and withdrawn this article, originally published on 5 August 2026 under the headline “3G Capital Insider Trading Claim Revived in US$1.2 Billion Case.”
On review, the piece did not meet our editorial standards. It presented a June 2025 procedural development as current news; it relied on a secondary account (a report by Metrópoles) whose accuracy has since been questioned, without independent verification by The Rio Times; and 3G Capital was not given an opportunity to respond before publication, contrary to our right-of-reply commitment.
Because the article rested on that secondary account and added no independent reporting, correcting the date alone could not cure its underlying premise. We have therefore withdrawn it in full.
The allegations it described were contested and unproven. No court has found 3G Capital or any other party liable, and 3G Capital denies wrongdoing.
In keeping with our corrections policy, we retract in the open: this notice remains at the original web address rather than deleting the page silently. We regret the lapse. — The Editors, The Rio Times
