Military families demand DOJ distribute nearly $800M from French cement company found guilty of bribing ISIS

Nearly 1,000 plaintiffs say the money should be paid to victims after Lafarge admitted making millions in ISIS-related payments.

  • Chief Petty Officer Kenton Stacy became a quadriplegic after being injured by ISIS explosives in Syria, and his family is part of a lawsuit against the French company Lafarge for paying ISIS millions to operate in the area.
  • In April 2023, a French court convicted Lafarge and sentenced its former CEO to six years in prison for providing material support to ISIS; Lafarge paid over $6.5 million to ISIS through its Syrian subsidiary between 2013 and 2014.
  • Lafarge settled with the U.S. Justice Department in October 2022, forfeiting $777 million intended to compensate victims of ISIS attacks, including many from military families.
  • As of early 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice has not yet distributed the $777 million to victims, stating the process is ongoing and subject to legal evaluation.
