Court to rule on Lafarge Syria appeal in January 2024

Written by Global Cement staff 24 November 2023

France/Syria: The French Court of Cassation will deliver its decision on the appeal filed in May 2022 by Lafarge, now part of Holcim, in the case relating to its activities in Syria in the 2010s, on 16 January 2024.

The body will rule on the indictments of Lafarge for complicity in crimes against humanity and endangering the lives of its employees in Syria, which were confirmed by the Paris Court of Appeal in 2022, and which the company is still contesting. The group is suspected of having paid in 2013 and 2014, via its Syria-based subsidiary Lafarge Cement Syria several million euros to jihadist groups, including the Islamic State (IS) organisation, and to intermediaries, to maintain the activity of a cement factory in Jalabiya, even as the country plunged into war.
