contents The decays of the negative $G$-parity meson $J/ψ$ into even numbers of pions violate $G$-parity. Such decays, as well as other $G$-parity decays into hadrons, can be parametrized in terms of three main intermediate virtual states: one photon, one photon plus two gluons, and three gluons. Since the electromagnetic interaction does not conserve $G$-parity, $J/ψ$ decays into positive $G$-parity final states should be dominantly electromagnetic. Nevertheless, the one-photon contribution to $J/ψ\to π^+ π^-$, that can be estimated by exploiting the cross section $σ(e^+e^-\to π^+ π^-)$, differs from the observed decay probability for {more than} 4.5 standard deviations. We present a computation of the $ggγ$ amplitude based on a phenomenological description of the decay mechanism in terms of dominant intermediate states $ηγ$, $η'γ$ and $f_1(1285)γ$. The obtained value is of the order of the electromagnetic contribution.
