"former employees charging it with war crimes" is not a phrase.
Lafarge faces two things:
- a criminal inquiry by the French economy ministry
- a lawsuit in France by human rights groups and former employees
"charging it with war crimes ..." further modifies "lawsuit", i.e. tells us the nature of the lawsuit.
