About 430 Americans of Yazidi background and Nobel laureate Nadia Murad accused French conglomerate Lafarge of supporting brutal attacks on the population through a conspiracy with the Islamic State, according to a complaint reviewed by AFP.
The Yazidis suit points to $6m in payments from Lafarge to Islamic State in 2013 and 2014 to purchase raw materials from a Lafarge cement plant in Syria that continued to operate during the Syrian civil war. The plaintiffs' complaint also references some $80.5m that US prosecutors found benefited participants in the conspiracy, including Islamic State and Lafarge.
