In a landmark decision, on April 13, 2026, a French corporation and its executives were found guilty of helping to fund international terrorism. French cement company Lafarge has been officially charged in the Paris Criminal Court with aiding and financing international terrorism, with four executives receiving multiyear prison sentences and the firm itself ordered to pay €1.125 million, the maximum penalty in fines.
