Un tribunal francés condenó a siete exejecutivos de la cementera Lafarge a penas de cárcel de hasta siete años por financiar a grupos terroristas en Siria entre 2013 y 2014, incluyendo al Estado Islámico. Los exdirectivos, entre ellos el exdirector general Bruno Lafont y su número dos Christian Herrault, fueron sentenciados por pagar sobornos millonarios para mantener la operación de la empresa en territorio controlado por yihadistas. Además de las penas de prisión, Lafarge fue multada con 1.125.000 euros y una sanción aduanera de 4,57 millones de euros. El tribunal determinó que Lafarge, a través de su filial en Siria, entregó 5,5 millones de euros al EI y a otros grupos yihadistas. La defensa argumentó sin éxito que la empresa actuó bajo presión de los servicios de inteligencia franceses.
