French company fined 777 million dollars for cooperation with ISIS.
The French company Lafarge was sentenced to pay 777 million dollars for cooperation with the ISIS terrorist group in Syria.
The French company “Lafarge” admitted its crime of cooperating with the ISIS terrorist group in Syria and said that it agreed to pay 777 million dollars as a fine to settle this case.
Between August 2013 and October 2014, this company specialized in the production and supply of cement paid about 17 million dollars to ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, two terrorist groups active in Syria.
The US Department of Justice has announced in a statement: “Lafarge has confessed to this horrific crime and accepted responsibility for it. “Before that, no company was accused of providing material support to foreign terrorist groups.”
Last year, in a documentary entitled “Factory”, Turkey paid millions of dollars to ISIS and PKK in Syria by the French cement giant “Lafarge” with the information of the French intelligence agency.
In that film, which was broadcast last November, it focuses on the suspicious relations between the French intelligence and the Lafarge company with the PKK and ISIS in Syria. In this documentary, it is announced with documents and statements of eyewitnesses that the Lafarge company, close to the French government, gave tens of millions of dollars to ISIS and PKK while operating in Syria. In fact, by paying these moneys, France got the permission to continue the operation of the Lafarge company’s factory, which was fifty kilometers from Kobani, and Turkish information was aware of the matter.
According to a 2011 document related to the company, it is proven that millions of dollars were paid to the PKK under the guise of voluntary aid, taxes or worker exemptions.
