    The Swiss-French group Lafarge Holix has paid around 13 million euros ($ 15.2 million) to armed groups, including a terrorist organization, between 2011 and 2015 in order to continue its operations in Syria, investigators have revealed.
    The information came from a human rights group speaking at a news conference about the preliminary investigation by French prosecutors into Lafarge's operations, which began in June on suspicion of "financing a terrorist entity."
    Lawyers for the Sherpa Group of Jurists said a large portion of the money went directly or indirectly into vaults and payments continued after the closure of the Lafarge plant in Jalabiya in September 2014.
    They referred to a figure identified by prosecutors examining Lafarge's activities during the Syrian civil war since 2011 and was drawn from an internal report by Lakers and Baker & Mackenzie of Lafarge.
    "The exact figure given in the investigation is 12946,000 euros paid by Lafarge between 2011 and 2015 to terrorist organizations, including a lobbyist," said Mary Dos, a lawyer at Sherpa.
    Lafarge turned to Lafarge Holcim in 2015 after Swiss takeover of Holmsem to form the world's largest cement maker.
    Eric Olsen, former chief executive officer of Alvarge Holcim, resigned after the company admitted to paying money to armed groups to continue the operations of one of its plants in Syria. His lawyer said Olsen would challenge his condition under investigation.
    Sherpa and other human rights groups in France, as well as the French Ministry of Finance, have sued Lafarge.
    Sherpa wants to put the company under formal investigation, like Olsen, and also accuses Lafarge of not cooperating with the authorities and trying to hide important elements from the investigation.
    A spokeswoman for Lafarge Holcim on Tuesday dismissed the charges but did not comment on the figure of 13 million euros.
    "Lafarge Holcim is fully cooperating with the justice authorities," she said, adding that thousands of documents were submitted to the judges or confiscated during the search.
    "We strongly reject the claim that the company is trying in any way to restrict the right of its current or former employees to defend themselves ... or (restrict) their ability to cooperate with a judicial investigation."
    The situation in a formal investigation in France means prosecutors believe they have "serious or consistent evidence" that could lead to prosecution. It is a step towards a possible trial but the investigation can still be dropped.
     The prosecutor of Paris last Friday put Olsen's predecessor, Bruno Lavon, and his former deputy operations under formal investigation into the activities of Lafarge in Syria, according to the lawyers of the two men.
    An independent internal investigation showed that paying money through intermediaries to maintain the operations of the Jalabiya plant in northern Syria was not in line with the company's policies.
    In an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro, Lafarge Holcim's president, Pete Hess, said the company had made unacceptable mistakes in Syria and was cooperating with French investigators.
