Lafarge convicted of funding ISIS in Syria, faces fines

Shocking news: French cement giant Lafarge has been found guilty of financing terrorism by paying millions to ISIS and other armed groups during the Syrian civil war to keep its factory open. The company and its former CEO were convicted, with hefty fines imposed. They claimed it was to protect employees, but courts ruled it violated sanctions and supported terrorism. Another example of corporate ethics failing in conflict zones. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/europe/2026/04/13/lafarge-found-guilty-of-financing-terrorism-in-syria-and-breaching-sanctions/

This is horrifying but sadly not surprising. Profit over people, every time.

Hefty fines? They should face far worse. This directly fueled the war in Syria.

Absolute disgrace. A company that big should know better, there's no excuse for funding those groups.
