Lafarge on trial in Paris for financing terrorism in Syria

Nov 4, 2025
The trial is opening today in Paris: the French cement company Lafarge and former executives face charges that they paid jihadist groups, such as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and the al‑Nusra Front, around €5 million between 2013 and 2014 to keep a Syrian plant running, in what prosecutors say constitutes 'terrorism financing'. FRANCE 24's Charlottes Hughes has the details of the case.
