2005 Des cabinets d'avocats des Etats-Unis préparent un procès en nom collectif pour violation du « Securities Exchange Act » de 1934. Les dirigeants et administrateurs auraient sciemment donné une image fallacieuse de la situation financière du groupe, déjà en difficulté, afin que Rhodia puisse continuer à placer des titres sur le marché, qu'eux-mêmes gardent leurs postes et que leurs stock-options ne perdent pas toute leur valeur.     Les Echos
2005 L'Autorité des marchés financiers l'accuse d'avoir trompé les investisseurs à travers certains communiqués et avis financiers inexacts. L'AMF soupçonne l'ancien PDG Jean-Pierre Tirouflet, de même que Yves-René Nanot, l'actuel président du conseil d'administration, président du comité des comptes à l'époque des faits.     Les Echos
2005 Le parquet de Paris a requis, le 21 octobre 2004, l'ouverture d'une information judiciaire contre X... sur les comptes de Rhodia de 1999 à 2002 pour « présentation de comptes inexacts, diffusion d'informations fausses et mensongères sur la situation d'un émetteur coté sur un marché réglementé, délit d'initié et recel de délit d'initié »     Les Echos
