French court frees Lafarge managers convicted of terrorism financing
A French court has released former Lafarge CEO Bruno Lafon and his deputy Christian Héro, placing them under judicial supervision after their detention since mid-last month on charges of financing terrorism in Syria. The court ruled that preventive detention is not the primary means to ensure their appearance in court and ordered them to be barred from leaving France, with a financial bail set, while remaining detained in the same prison. This comes after both were convicted in 2023 of paying millions of euros to armed groups in Syria through Lafarge, under a previous ruling that sentenced them to several years in prison, and they are facing a retrial soon.
