A man convicted of arson attacks targeting Sir Keir Starmer has been deported from the UK, the Home Office says. The outlets identify the man as Stanislav Carpiuc and report that he was removed following his conviction for his role in the firebombing of a property connected to the former Labour leader.
Several reports say the attacks formed part of a wider plot to damage property, with one outlet describing allegations that Ukrainian men were used as “pawns” to carry out the attacks at the direction of an unidentified Russian figure. Another outlet characterises him as a “money man” within the conspiracy. The reporting also describes the targeting of Starmer’s constituency home and additional assets associated with him, including a flat and a car, across multiple separate incidents. While the outlets vary in the level of detail about alleged foreign involvement and roles within the plot, they agree on the deportation following conviction for arson aimed at Starmer’s properties.
