Yazidis, led by Nobel winner, sue French cement maker over ISIS support

Lafarge pleaded guilty in U.S. court in October last year to a charge that it made payments to groups designated as terrorists by the United States, including Islamic State, so the company could keep operating in Syria. Lafarge, which became part of Swiss-listed Holcim (HOLN.S) in 2015, agreed to pay $778 million in forfeiture and fines as part of the plea agreement.
